• 1 cup whole milk
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.25 cup powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch bundt pan or a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once the cake is completely cool, optionally dust the top with powdered sugar for a decorative finish.

Step 11

Slice and serve! Enjoy Grandma’s Chocolate Chip Cake with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee.
