This chocolate chip cake is a moist, delicious and easy to make dessert, perfect to serve with tea, coffee, or for any potluck.
Cakes are always a special dessert in the South. I recently read some slogans about cakes (Slogans Hub) and here are a few that sum up our love of cake.
“Spreading the love, one cake at a time”, “making your life sweeter, one bite at a time”, and “a cake so yummy, it will fill your tummy”….I think you get the idea. What is better than a delicious bite of cake!
Watch How to Make Chocolate Chip Cake
This cake has all the “makings” of a great bite, but in my humble opinion, sour cream is the “secret” ingredient that elevates it to another level. It makes the batter more moist and in turn produces a creamy, soft cake. Simpy put, it is hard to go wrong with sour cream!
We also love this pea picking cake.
And this peach dump cake.
Oh, and of course these carrot cake cookies.
A Chocolate Chip Cake You’ll Love
This yummy cake will be a hit when served up at your next family gathering, church potluck, bridal shower, or neighborhood party.
It is easy to make and easy to take!! So bake away and then spread the love to others.
How do you keep the chocolate chips from sinking to the bottom of the cake?
The main reason that chocolate chips sink to the bottom of a cake is that the chocolate chips are too heavy for the batter.
You can remedy this problem by tossing the chocolate chips in a little flour or a bit of cake mix and mixing with dry ingredients before mixing with wet ingredients. This will help suspend them in your batter.
Does it matter what size the chocolate chips are?
This recipe allows you to choose your chocolate chips. However, if you’re using mini chocolate chips, you’ll need less than if using regular sized ones. Usually the rule of thumb is about 3/4 cup of minis for every 1 cup of regular size.
However, in my opinion, there is almost no such thing as too many chocolate chips, but that’s just me!
The quality of your chocolate (chips) can also make a big difference in a recipe. If you wouldn’t want to eat the chocolate chips, don’t bake with them!
