Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups (210g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (170g) chocolate chips
- 2 eggs
Wet Ingredients:
- 0.25 cup (55g) unsalted butter, softened
- 0.25 cup (60 milliliters) vegetable or canola oil
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup (180 milliliters) buttermilk, sour cream, or cream
Dry Ingredients:
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Sift together the dry ingredients to ensure a smooth, lump-free base for the cake.
- Using an electric mixer, whip the butter, oil, and sugar until the mixture becomes light, airy, and significantly increased in volume.
- Incorporate eggs one at a time, blending thoroughly after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract for enhanced flavor depth.
- Gradually introduce the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with buttermilk to maintain a silky, well-integrated batter.
- Gently fold chocolate chips throughout the batter, distributing them evenly to guarantee a consistent chocolate experience in every slice.
- Transfer the batter to a prepared cake pan, spreading it uniformly to ensure even baking.
- Place in a preheated oven at 175°C (350°F) and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cake to rest in the pan for 10 minutes to stabilize its structure.
- Carefully turn out onto a wire rack and let cool completely, or serve warm for a gooey, indulgent treat.
Notes
- Sift dry ingredients beforehand to eliminate lumps and ensure a smoother cake texture.
- Use room temperature eggs and buttermilk for better ingredient integration and consistent mixing.
- Gently fold chocolate chips to prevent them from sinking to the bottom during baking, coating them lightly in flour first helps.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute buttermilk with almond milk and use dairy-free chocolate chips, maintaining the same measurements.
