Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup Buttermilk, room temperature
- 2 units Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray. Optionally, line the pan with parchment paper for easier removal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted and cooled butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 5
Fold in 1 cup of the chocolate chips, reserving the remaining 1/2 cup for topping the cake.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly into the corners. Sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup of chocolate chips evenly over the top of the batter.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Step 8
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely, if desired.
Step 9
Slice into squares or rectangles and serve. Enjoy your soft and decadent chocolate chip snack cake with a glass of milk!
