Questions I Get Asked About This Recipe

Why do the chocolate chips sink to the bottom of the cake?

If your chocolate chips are sinking to the bottom of the cake, try using mini chocolate chips instead of regular-sized chips. You can also sprinkle some chocolate chips on top of the batter instead of mixing all the chocolate chips in the batter. That way, all the chocolate chips will distribute evenly, and you can enjoy each bite with chocolaty goodness.

How to store Chocolate Chip Loaf cake?

If you want to store the cake, you can keep it in an airtight container for 3 days. You can also put it in the refrigerator to extend the storage time.

If you want to freeze it, plastic wrap the cake after it has cooled down completely. I also cover it in aluminum foil or put it in freezer bags to keep the cake fresh. It can keep up to 3 months in the freezer. Simply thaw it overnight in the refrigerator or microwave it before eating.

Here’s What You’ll Need

½ cup Unsalted butter- room temperature

2 large Eggs

½ cup Milk

2 tsp. Vanilla extract 

1 cup Granulated sugar

1 tsp. Baking powder

1½ cups All-purpose flour 

1 cup Chocolate chips

Here’s How You Do It

3. Add in the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until ingredients are incorporated.
4. Add in the sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix until well combined.
5. Once combined, add in the flour ½ cup at a time.
6. Once the flour is fully incorporated, add in the chocolate chips, and mix until the chips are fully distributed into the batter.
7. Pour the batter into a prepared loaf pan. 
8. Bake for 1 hour- 1 hour 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Remove from the oven and allow to cool to a desirable temperature.
10. Once cooled, remove from the pan and slice.
11. Serve and enjoy.

Notes:

1. This recipe is best served fresh as it does dry out quickly. 
2. I like to prepare my pans with a thin layer of vegetable shortening and flour.
3. Baking times may differ depending on the size of your loaf pan and your oven. Be sure to check on your cake!
4. If the top of your cake starts to brown before it is full cooked, place a piece of aluminum foil over top to prevent further browning or burning.
