Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (for tossing chocolate chips)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of unsalted butter and 1.75 cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the 4 large eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition.
Mix in 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and alternately add the dry ingredient mixture and 1 cup of whole milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.
In a small bowl, toss the 1.5 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour to prevent them from sinking. Gently fold the coated chocolate chips into the cake batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly 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.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
