Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 3 Eggs, large
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 cup Chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs to the creamed mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Reduce mixer speed to low and alternately add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or top with cream cheese frosting for an extra indulgent touch.
