Laravel 5: Ajax Post 500 (Internal Server Error)

I'm trying to submit data to the database via ajax. The submit article page works fine without ajax. I've added console.log() just to see if anything is going through, but instead I'm getting this error:

POST http://localhost/laravel-5/public/articles/create 500 (Internal Server Error)

What's wrong with my code? Is it the javascript or the controller?

EDIT: I'm getting this in laravel.log

exception 'Illuminate\Session\TokenMismatchException' in C:\xampp\htdocs\laravel-5\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken.php:53

Route

Route::resource('articles', 'ArticlesController');

Controller

public function store(Requests\ArticleRequest $request)
    {

        $article = new Article($request->all());
        Auth::user()->articles()->save($article);

        $response = array(
            'status' => 'success',
            'msg' => 'Article has been posted.',
        );
        return \Response::json($response);
    }

jQuery

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#frm').on('submit', function (e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        var title = $('#title').val();
        var body = $('#body').val();
        var published_at = $('#published_at').val();
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: 'http://localhost/laravel-5/public/articles/create',
            dataType: 'JSON',
            data: {title: title, body: body, published_at: published_at},
            success: function( data ) {
                $("#ajaxResponse").append(data.msg);
                console.log(data);
            }
        });
    });
