Last night while they all peacefully slept, I made a chocolate chip loaf cake.
The ingredients are as follows...
225g butter
225g caster sugar
4 medium eggs
225g self raising flower
As many chocolate chunks as you like!
An optional half teaspoon of vanilla essence.
For the chocolate, I'd recommend a plain chocolate with at least 70% coco. You need quite a bitter chocolate as this is quite a sweet cake and it will help to balance the flavours.
Cream together the butter and sugar, add the beaten eggs, add the flower and then add the chocolate.
I use a standard loaf tin with a loaf tin liner. If you don't have a liner, line the tray with baking liner.
Spoon the mixture into your loaf tin, bake for 40-50 minutes on 160 (fan assisted) 180 non fan.
Check with a knife to ensure the cake is baked through.
Then enjoy!
