Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 1 cups Whole milk
- 1.5 cups Chocolate chunks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk to the wet mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.
Gently fold the chocolate chunks into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 30-35 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 about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve your Chocolate Chunk Vanilla Cake as is, or top it with your favorite frosting or a dusting of powdered sugar.
