Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1.5 cups chocolate morsels (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a medium 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 until pale and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate morsels using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s) and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optionally, sift powdered sugar over the cooled cake for a decorative touch before serving.
Slice and enjoy your rich and chocolatey Morsel Cake!
