Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Electric Whisk
  • 2 Lb Loaf Tin
  • Reusable Baking Paper

Ingredients

  • 170 g Margarine or room temperature butter
  • 170 g Caster Sugar
  • 3 Medium Eggs
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 190 g Self-Raising Flour
  • 200 g Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 190 Degrees C (fan-assisted) and grease and/or line a 2lb loaf tin.
  • Whisk together the margarine and sugar until smooth.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla, and continue to whisk until well mixed.
  • Tip in the flour, and whisk for a minute or two until the cake mix is an even consistency.
  • Carefully fold through the chocolate chips, retaining a handful.
  • Pour into the prepared tin.
  • Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips onto the top.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, before reducing the temperature to 160 degrees C (fan-assisted).
  • Bake for a further 35 minutes, checking with a skewer to make sure the centre is cooked, and returning to the oven, checking every 5 minutes if needed.
  • Remove from the oven and cool fully in the tin before removing.

Notes

  • Use any chocolate chips you like.
  • If you want to add chocolate chips to the top of your cake, retain some to sprinkle over when the cake is cooling so that they gently melt onto the top.
  • If after 45 minutes the middle is still uncooked, but the top is well-browned, cover gently with foil to prevent burning.
