Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for coating chocolate chips)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 10-cup bundt or tube pan generously with butter, followed by a light dusting of flour to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.
Mix in the vanilla extract and sour cream until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
In a small bowl, toss the chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons of flour. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake.
Fold the flour-coated chocolate chips gently into the batter using a rubber spatula, ensuring even distribution.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt or tube pan, smoothing the top with the spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 65-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean or with only a few crumbs.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack and let it cool completely before slicing.
Serve as is or with a dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant finish. Enjoy!
