Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour For best results, use a kitchen scale for accurate measurements.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened Make sure it's at room temperature.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs Ensure they are at room temperature.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream Yogurt can be used as an alternative.
Add-ins
  • 1 cup chocolate chips Use semi-sweet or dark chocolate for a richer flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Alternately add the dry ingredients and sour cream to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips to ensure even distribution.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  3. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Lasts up to 1 week at room temperature or 2 weeks in the fridge. Can be frozen for up to 3 months - slice and wrap individually for best results.
