This chocolate chip loaf cake is soft, buttery and studded with melted chocolate in every slice: a simple batter of butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla bakes into a golden, tender loaf that is perfect for breakfast, tea or dessert. It slices beautifully and stays moist for days. If you love chocolate bakes, try our Moist Chocolate Cupcakes and Chocolate Yogurt Mousse.
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 100 g (1/2 cup) sugar
- 100 g (7 tbsp) softened butter
- 50 ml (3 tbsp) milk
- 210 g (1 3/4 cups) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp vanilla sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 100 g (2/3 cup) chocolate chips
Instructions
- Beat the softened butter with the sugar until creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
- Pour in the milk and stir to combine.
- Fold in the flour mixed with baking powder and the vanilla sugar.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Line a loaf pan with parchment, spread in the batter, and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 45-50 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
Tips
- Toss the chocolate chips in a spoonful of flour so they do not sink to the bottom of the loaf.
- Check with a toothpick at 45 minutes, and bake a little longer only if it still comes out wet.
