Mmmm Mmmm Good Cake

This cake is delicious. I got the recipe off of Tasty Kitchen, which led me to this blog which has a multitude of recipes I want to try.  As a testament to the yummyness of this cake, I made 3.  One for the Suppers for Six we went to Saturday night, one for our babysitters (they are expecting a grandson in November, so J is good practice) and one for M... which ended up being "the one for me".

The batter tastes like a yellow cake and vanilla pudding hybrid. Nothing wrong with that.

But don't worry, it's not one of those cakes without chocolate...

Because here comes the good part- half of the batter goes in your greased 13x9...

OK, I'm done.

Chocolate Chip Cake
From My Kitchen Cafe

Ingredients
2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups sour cream
2/3 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 eggs
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
cinnamon sugar (approximate- just use enough to cover your layers)
1 bag chocolate chips, divided

350 degrees (325 if using a glass pan). Grease a 9 X 13 pan with cooking spray.

Beat together butter and sugar, add in sour cream, eggs and vanilla.  Add dry ingredients (except for cinnamon sugar & chocolate) and mix for 1 minute at low speed; mix 3 minutes at medium speed. Pour 1/2 of batter into greased pan. Generously sprinkle cinnamon and sugar over batter and then top with 1/2 bag of chocolate chips. Pour remaining cake batter on top and spread across bottom layer. Repeat with cinnamon and sugar and chocolate chips. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with only a few crumbs (don't over-bake or cake will be dry!).

  1. OMG. Tonight I make this. You're awesome. Except that I'll probably eat the whole thing myself and totally blame you.
