Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (57g) unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
  • ¼ cup (60ml) oil (sunflower, canola, or vegetable)
  • ¾ cup (180g) sour cream
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips (semi-sweet)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F.
  • Grease 8x½-inch or 9-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray or butter. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, take flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Whisk for few seconds to combine well.
  • Add chocolate chips into the flour mixture and mix well.
  • In a medium bowl, add oil, melted butter, sour cream, sugar, and vanilla.
  • Stir well until everything is combined and becomes a smooth mixture.
  • In to dry ingredients, add the wet mixture and ½ cup of milk.
  • Mix everything gently until just combined, and there is no visible flour. Do not overmix.
  • Pour the batter into a prepared loaf pan.
  • Bake the chocolate chip cake in a preheated oven for 45-55 minutes or until a wooden skewer or a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Keep an eye on the cake. If the top of the loaf cake is browning too quickly, remove it from the oven after 30 - 35 minutes and loosely cover it with aluminum foil. Return it to the oven and continue baking for the remaining time.
  • Remove the loaf cake from the oven and transfer the loaf pan onto a wire rack. Allow the cake to cool completely into the pan.
  • Once the chocolate chip cake is cooled, remove it from the pan, slice, and serve.

Storing and Freezing

  • This cake stays at room temperature for 3-4 days, covered tightly. Or refrigerate the cake for up to a week.
  • If you want to freeze the cake, allow it to cool completely. Then cover it tightly with freezer-safe plastic wrap or place it in the freezer bag. Freeze the loaf cake for up to two months. Thaw the cake at room temperature before serving, or thaw it in the fridge overnight and then at room temperature.

Notes

  1. Sour Cream and Milk: Use room-temperature sour cream and milk for the best result. You can use low-fat sour cream or low-fat milk; however, do not use fat-free dairy products for this recipe.
  2. Measuring: If you have a kitchen scale, weigh the ingredients for accurate measurements.
  3. Butter: If you prefer, you can use only butter for this cake. Use ½ cups of melted butter and leave out the oil.
  4. Oil: In the same way, you can use only oil. Add ½ cup of it, and leave out the butter.
  5. Chocolate Chips: Use mini chocolate chips if possible for even distribution and more chocolate in each bite.
  6. Baking: Keep an eye on the cake after 40 minutes of baking time because every oven is different. While baking, if the top of the loaf cake is browning too quickly, remove it from the oven after 30 - 35 minutes and loosely cover it with aluminum foil. Then, return it to the oven and continue baking for the remaining time.
