Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1½ cups plain flour
- ¾ cup sugar
- ½ cup butter (at room temperature, 113.4 g)
- ½ cup whole milk (120 ml)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 tsps vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Preparation: Set oven to 350°F and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, ensuring complete greasing for easy release.
- Dry Ingredient Fusion: Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl, creating a uniform dry mixture without any lumps.
- Liquid Flavor Enhancement: Blend vanilla extract into milk, allowing the flavors to intertwine seamlessly.
- Creaming Stage: Whip butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until the mixture transforms into a light, pale, and voluminous cream with an airy consistency.
- Egg Integration: Incorporate eggs one at a time, thoroughly mixing each into the butter-sugar base to create a smooth, homogeneous batter.
- Batter Composition: Gently fold in half the flour mixture, alternating with milk additions, and stir until the batter achieves a perfect, lump-free texture.
- Chocolate Chip Distribution: Fold chocolate chips throughout the batter, ensuring an even spread for consistent chocolate delight in every slice.
- Baking Process: Pour batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface for an even bake, and place in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes.
- Doneness and Cooling: Test with a toothpick for minimal crumbs, let rest in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Precision Matters: Sifting dry ingredients prevents lumps and ensures a smooth, uniform cake texture.
- Temperature Tip: Room temperature butter and eggs blend more easily, creating a lighter, fluffier batter.
- Chocolate Distribution Trick: Toss chocolate chips in a bit of flour before adding to prevent sinking to the bottom of the cake.
- Doneness Test: A clean toothpick with just a few moist crumbs indicates perfect baking – avoid overbaking to maintain moisture.
