Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate (chopped, for glaze)
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch bundt pan or round cake pan. Lightly dust the pan with flour and tap out the excess.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and one egg at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter.
Alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk to the wet ingredients in three additions, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Lightly tap the pan on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully remove it and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
To prepare the chocolate glaze, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the chopped semi-sweet chocolate and butter. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
Allow the glaze to cool for 5 minutes, then drizzle it over the cooled cake, letting it cascade down the sides. Use a spatula to spread the glaze if desired.
Let the glaze set for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Chocolate Chip Cake with Chocolate Glaze!
