My mom has been making this Chocolate Chip Cake for literally decades. It holds so many of my childhood memories; I remember having it at numerous family gatherings and birthday parties. It’s nothing fancy, it’s basically a buttery pound cake that has been dotted with mini chocolate chips. It’s a simple yet classic Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake that is a delight to eat. 

For years my mom made it using all-purpose flour, but in the past few years switched to using cake flour which I feel makes the cake a little lighter and less dense. This Chocolate Chip cake has a buttery richness yet yields a tender crumb.

COOK’S NOTE – CHOCOLATE CHIP BUNDT CAKE Recipe:

• You can serve this cake plain or with the chocolate glaze and even a scoop of vanilla ice cream. My family highly recommends having a nice cold glass of milk with this cake, too! 
• Leftover cake will keep in an airtight cake dome at room temperature for up to 4 days. 
• You can use regular semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of the mini chocolate chips, just make sure you toss the chocolate chips in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour before folding them into the batter. This will help prevent the chocolate chips from sinking to the bottom (or top when flipped out) of the cake.
• Don’t be tempted to remove the cake from the pan before it’s cooled for an hour in the pan. If you do, then you run the risk of the cake falling apart during the turning out process.

Ingredients

FOR THE CAKE:

• 2 ¾ cups cake flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup butter softened
• ¾ cup milk
• 4 large eggs
• 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
• 2 cups mini chocolate chips

FOR THE CHOCOLATE GLAZE:

• ¾ cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 Tablespoon light corn syrup

FOR SERVING:

• vanilla ice cream optional

Instructions

MAKE THE CAKE:

• Move the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
• In a medium bowl whisk together the cake flour and baking powder; set aside.
  
• In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat together the butter and sugar on medium speed until fluffy and lightened in color, about 2-3 minutes.
  
• Add in the milk, eggs, and vanilla and beat until combined.
  
• Add in the dry ingredients and mix until well blended.
  
• Fold in the chocolate chips.
  
• Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick that is inserted into the center comes out clean.
  
• Let the cake cool for 1 hour in the pan. Then, remove the cake from the pan and place on a wire rack to cool completely.

MAKE THE CHOCOLATE GLAZE:

• In a double boiler over hot, but not boiling water, combine the chocolate chips, butter, and corn syrup.
  
• Stir until the chips are melted and the mixture is smooth.
  

FINISH THE CAKE:

• Pour the warm glaze over top of the cake, letting it drizzle down the sides.
  
• Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional).
