  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter (225g)

Instructions
 

  • Preparing the Pan
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line your chosen pan with parchment paper.
  • Mixing Dry Ingredients
    In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • Creaming Butter and Sugars
    In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Adding Eggs and Vanilla
    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Combining Wet and Dry Ingredients
    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with sour cream and milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients.
  • Folding in Chocolate Chips
    Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution.
  • Pouring the Batter
    Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Baking
    Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
