Chocolate Chip Cake


 

This chocolate chip cake is rich, moist, and filled with melty chocolate chips, making it the perfect dessert for chocolate lovers!

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/4 cups brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round or square cake pan.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until creamy and light.
  4. Add the Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Alternate Adding Dry Ingredients and Sour Cream: Gradually add the dry ingredients in three parts, alternating with the sour cream in two parts. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Fold in the Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter.
  7. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (with just a few crumbs from the chocolate chips).
  8. Cool the Cake: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Frost and Serve: Frost with your favorite frosting or serve as is for a simple, delicious treat!

Make-Ahead & Storage Instructions:


 Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months—just wrap it well in plastic wrap and foil.

Customization Ideas:

  • Nutty Version: Add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter for added crunch.
  • Double Chocolate Version: Use chocolate chips in both the batter and frosting for extra chocolate flavor.
  • Frosting Options: Try pairing this cake with chocolate ganache, vanilla buttercream, or cream cheese frosting for added indulgence.
