Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 Cups flour
  • 3/4 Cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 Cup butter at room temperature
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 Cup whole milk
  • 1 Cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 12 muffin tins. Or in this case square individual cake tins. I recommend you line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper and grease that as well.
  • In a medium sized bowl sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • Whisk the vanilla into the milk and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl cream the butter and sugar. After the mixture is pale and fluffy, add the eggs one at a time mixing until they are incorporated into the batter.
  • Next, add half the flour and stir in gently. Then add all the milk and stir to combine. Add remaining flour ans stir to combine. Once it is all incorporated, add the chocolate chips and stir to combine.
  • Pour batter into your prepared dish and bake for approximately 15-18 minutes. Insert a toothpick in the center and when just a few crumbs come off, it is done. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool for just a few minutes. Remove from pan after about 5 minutes and let it cool for a further few minutes. This can be served straight away. Will keep for a few days in an airtight container.

Notes

  1. Baking time will vary between 15 - 18 minutes depending on your oven and the type of tin you are using.
  2. Best served fresh, but will keep up to two days in an airtight container.
  3. I strongly recommend whole milk, as stated, as it will result in moister cakes.
