Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 4 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon Flour (for coating chocolate chips)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

In a small bowl, toss the chocolate chips with the tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake. Fold the chocolate chips gently into the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If needed, tent the top with aluminum foil during the last 15 minutes of baking to prevent over-browning.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and serve as is, or top with a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra touch.
