This one bowl chocolate chip cake is superb! Extremely after dumping all of the components to combine collectively, it is without doubt one of the fluffiest desserts ever!

This one bowl chocolate chip cake is unbelievable. 

Each single final cake batter ingredient is thrown into one bowl and combined up all collectively. Skilled cake bakers in every single place will inform you this implies sudden demise to your gentle and fluffy cake. 

However I’m arguing again: not so! It’s moist and tender and one of many fluffiest desserts I’ve ever had. 

In different phrases, it’s type of a miracle cake. 

Double Responsibility Cake

With the layers of chocolate chips and cinnamon/sugar (belief me, it’s a successful combo!), this cake has made many, many appearances for birthdays and Sunday dinner desserts and potluck deal with choices. 

But it surely additionally jogs my memory lots of a extremely good espresso cake. Which implies, it’s completely acceptable to serve for breakfast. 

I’ve been making this cake for over ten years, and it continues to be an enormous favourite. It’s so, so good!!

A True One Bowl Marvel

You might really feel morally against throwing the eggs and flour and butter and bitter cream and every thing else in the identical bowl collectively. I get it. 

It feels bizarre and barely mistaken. And when you’re like me, it’s possible you’ll even begin questioning who to even belief anymore!

However I promise, it really works. I don’t know the way or why, but it surely does.

Combine up the batter till it is rather well-combined. 

No matter you do, DON’T style even the smallest smidgeon of batter. Simply don’t. It’s horrible and gross and also you shouldn’t be consuming uncooked batter anyway. Jeez, who’re you?? 

{Okay, mendacity. It’s truly superb. And so completely cake battery candy and vanilla-y. Should you style any, good luck stopping at only one little lick.}

Layers and layers

As soon as the cake batter is prepared:

• unfold half in a 9X13-inch pan
• sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar
• layer on 1 cup of chocolate chips

Then take the remaining cake batter and dollop spoonfuls throughout the highest of the chocolate chips. 

Doing so will make it simpler to unfold into a good layer. 

After which repeat the identical cinnamon and sugar + chocolate chip layers. 

Straightforward peasy.

I’ve classically by no means been an enormous fan of the cinnamon + chocolate mixture. 

I imply, I might by no means say no to it, however I don’t essentially crave it. 

However on this one bowl chocolate chip cake, the cinnamon and sugar provides probably the most pleasant ribbon of spicy sweetness to the center of the cake and permits the highest to get crispy, crackly golden. 

And the candy cinnamon taste is so scrumptious with the dots of wealthy, melted chocolate chips all all through the cake. 

Let’s Discuss Chocolate Chips

You already know I really feel strongly about chocolate chips. There’s very restricted room in my coronary heart for milk chocolate chips, and so I at all times use semisweet chocolate chips on this cake. 

However you do you. And I promise we will all nonetheless be pals. 

Curiously, whereas I like a very good high quality chocolate chip (Guittard or Ghirardelli), they don’t keep as comfortable on this cake after it cools as Nestle or Kirkland Signature manufacturers of chocolate chips. 

So do with that data what you’ll. 

The Nice Sinking Debate

Typically the center layer of chocolate chips sink to the underside of the cake. And generally they don’t. 

You’ll be able to strive tossing them with a little bit of flour, however in my expertise, there’s truthfully no rhyme or purpose to when or why they sink. Identical model of chocolate chips, identical cake recipe, generally they sink, generally they don’t. 

*A number of readers have reported within the feedback that after they use mini chocolate chips, they don’t sink in any respect.

I’ve chosen to not let it hold me awake at night time as a result of this chocolate chip cake is loopy scrumptious regardless of if the chocolate chips are properly behaved or not. 

Mainly, of all issues occurring on the earth proper now, we aren’t going to let chocolate chips stress us out. 

This one bowl chocolate chip cake is actually, actually good served barely heat or at room temperature by itself. It’s attention-grabbing and fluffy and moist sufficient to do fairly properly by itself.

However. It’s insane in a complete completely different manner served ever so barely heat with a scoop of ice cream. And sizzling fudge, too. 

This cake is a stable favourite of ours and so many others (simply learn by way of the feedback!). I hope you like it, too.

Attempt googling “baking desserts at excessive altitude” for suggestions (I’ve heard including a couple of tablespoons additional flour may help).
