Milk Chocolate Loaf Cake

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a 20x20cm loaf tin and line it with parchment paper.

   Tip: Optional: use a non-stick spray for easier cake removal.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

4. 4

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Beat just until combined.

5. 5

   Stir in the milk chocolate chips.

6. 6

   Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and smooth the top.

7. 7

   Bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

   Tip: Optional: tent the cake with foil if it starts to brown too quickly.

8. 8

   Remove from the oven and let cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
