Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Lightly grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or tube pan, making sure to coat all crevices.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the granulated sugar to the butter and cream cheese mixture. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 5

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the chocolate chips gently using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 70-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Slice and serve the cake on its own, or with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
