Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 45 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: American
Serves: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and sugar until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer on medium speed. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition to ensure smooth incorporation.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to remove any lumps and ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk. Mix on low speed until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to create an even surface.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice and serve. Optional: dust with powdered sugar or add a chocolate ganache topping for extra indulgence.
Tips
- • Room temperature ingredients are key! Make sure your butter, eggs, and milk are at room temperature for the smoothest, most uniform batter. • Don't overmix the batter - mix just until the ingredients are combined to keep the cake tender and light. • For extra chocolatey goodness, try using a mix of milk and dark chocolate chips. • To prevent chocolate chips from sinking, toss them in a little flour before adding to the batter. • Check the cake's doneness by inserting a toothpick - it should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs. • Let the cake cool completely before slicing to ensure clean, perfect cuts. • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
