Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix butter, sugar, eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and milk together for 5 minutes.

- Pour the batter into a greased and floured pan.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using salted butter instead of unsalted. If you're out of mini chocolate chips, you can chop regular chocolate bars into small pieces as a substitute. To make this cake even more decadent, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon for warmth. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing.
Serving Suggestions
This cake is delicious on its own, but it also pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Serve alongside fresh fruit or a light salad for a balanced dessert. For a fun twist, drizzle warm chocolate sauce over the cake just before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep it fresh longer, refrigerate it for up to a week. To reheat, simply slice a piece and microwave for about 15-20 seconds, or enjoy it cold for a delightful texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour, but the cake may be denser. To maintain a light texture, consider using half whole wheat and half all-purpose flour. This will give you a healthier option while still keeping the flavor intact.
How do I know when the cake is done baking?
To check if the cake is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs, the cake is ready. Keep in mind that baking times may vary based on your oven, so it's good to start checking a few minutes before the recommended time.
Can I freeze the chocolate chip cake?
Absolutely! Wrap the cooled cake tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil before freezing. It can be stored this way for up to 3 months. When you're ready to enjoy it, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and bring it to room temperature before serving.
