Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.75 cups unsalted butter
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.25 cups powdered sugar (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan or bundt pan. Lightly dust with flour and set aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the granulated sugar and butter together using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the sugar-butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually alternate adding the dry flour mixture and the milk into the wet mixture, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips gently using a rubber spatula to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once the cake is fully cooled, sift powdered sugar over the top using a fine mesh sieve to create a snowflake-like effect.

Step 11

Slice and serve your Chocolate Chip Snowflake Cake as a decadent treat.
