Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1½ cups plain flour
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- ½ cup butter, at room temperature
- ½ cup whole milk
Sweeteners:
- ¾ cup sugar
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by warming the oven to 350°F. Create a non-stick surface in a 9×5-inch loaf pan with a parchment paper lining, ensuring thorough greasing.
- Sift dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt) into a medium bowl, creating a smooth, lump-free mixture.
- Whisk vanilla extract into milk in a separate small container, allowing flavors to meld.
- Using a large mixing bowl, transform butter and sugar into a light, airy cream through vigorous blending until the texture becomes pale and fluffy.
- Introduce eggs individually, thoroughly incorporating each one into the butter-sugar mixture, creating a smooth, cohesive base.
- Fold in half the flour mixture gently, then alternate with milk addition, completing the batter by stirring in remaining flour until perfectly integrated.
- Distribute chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter, ensuring a consistent chocolate experience in every slice.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, carefully smoothing the surface for an even bake.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick that should emerge with minimal crumbs.
- Once baked, allow the loaf to rest in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack, completing the cooling process before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Perfectly moist and rich chocolate chip loaf cake that’s simple to make with basic pantry ingredients.
- Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature for smoother mixing and better cake texture.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for more intense and delicious flavor throughout the cake.
- Check cake doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center – it should have minimal crumbs for ideal moisture.
- Cool cake completely before slicing to prevent crumbling and maintain its beautiful structure.
