Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cup milk
• 1.5 cups chocolate morsels (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or two 9-inch round cake pans.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate morsels using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s) and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Optionally, sift powdered sugar over the cooled cake for a decorative touch before serving.

Step 11

Slice and enjoy your rich and chocolatey Morsel Cake!
