My friend Doris gave me this recipe years and years ago and I still make this cake today. It's fast and easy to make and it's oh so good toasted with ice cream on top!
Doris' Chocolate Chip Cake
Grease two 8 inch cake pans or one big loaf pan
Preheat oven to 350°F
Ingredients:
Sift together:
2 1/4 cup flour
1 1/2 cup sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
----------------
1/2 cup softened butter
1 cup milk
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 eggs (big fat double yolks make light fluffy cakes!)
handful of chocolate chips (two if you're a chocoholic!)
Mix all the above except the chocolate chips in a bowl till smooth.
Pour into your pan/s and THEN sprinkle chips on top of the cake batter.
Do NOT mix chips in!
Bake in 350°F oven for 30 - 35 minutes or until a pick comes out clean if inserted in the middle or the top springs back when touched.
Dust the finished cake with powdered sugar or powdered cinnamon sugar.
Variation:
Instead of chocolate chips, use cinnamon.
Simply sprinkle cinnamon on top of batter after you pour it in pans and then take a tooth pick and gently swirl around once or twice the cinnamon and bake.
