Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 90g (about 1/2 cup) sugar
- 110ml (about 1/2 cup) milk (lactose-free if necessary)
- 90ml (about 1/3 cup) vegetable oil
- 200g (about 1 and 2/3 cups) all-purpose flour
- 8g (about 2 teaspoons) baking powder
- Chocolate chips as needed, plus extra for topping
- Prepare the Batter:
- Start by whisking the eggs and sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy, which takes a few minutes.
- Gradually mix in the vegetable oil and milk, ensuring each ingredient is well incorporated.
- Sift in the flour and baking powder, adding them to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined to avoid overworking the batter.
- Fold in a generous amount of chocolate chips into the batter.
- Bake the Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 356°F (180°C). Line a cake pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Sprinkle additional chocolate chips over the top of the batter for a rich chocolatey crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar, if desired, before slicing and serving.
