Cook Time: 50 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs 5 mins
Cuisine: French
Serves: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake dense.
- Fold in the chocolate chips gently with a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice the cake and serve. Enjoy your delicious Cake aux Pépitess de Chocolat!
Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for a smoother batter and better incorporation of ingredients.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the dry and wet ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can lead to a dense cake.
- Quality Chocolate Chips: Use high-quality chocolate chips for a richer flavor. Dark chocolate chips can add a delightful contrast to the sweetness of the cake.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your cake a few minutes before the recommended baking time. A toothpick should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cooling Time: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. This helps prevent it from breaking apart.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve your Cake aux Pépitess de Chocolat with a dusting of powdered sugar or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat!
