Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
• 1.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 4 pieces Eggs (large, at room temperature)
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Sour cream (full-fat)
• 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream (for glaze, optional)
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips (for glaze, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 10-cup capacity bundt pan thoroughly with butter or nonstick spray, ensuring all crevices are covered for easy release.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.

Step 5

On low speed, alternately add the dry ingredients and the sour cream to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips gently with a spatula to ensure even distribution throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it evenly. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to release any air bubbles.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

For the optional glaze, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour it over the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heat-safe bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy.

Step 11

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Let the glaze set for 15 minutes, then serve.

Step 12

Slice, serve, and enjoy your Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake!
