📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square cake pan. Optionally, line the bottom with parchment paper for easier removal.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.

5. Add the sour cream to the wet ingredients and mix until smooth.

6. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, beating on low speed just until combined. Do not overmix.

7. Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

8. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.

10. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

11. Slice and serve plain, or top with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
