  • Gently fold in chips.
    1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • I always use a 9 x 13 pan, by 2 - 9 inch round pans can also be used.  Bake for 30 - 40 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • Baking times vary, so I use a toothpick to test the cake a couple times to prevent burning
  • Cake can be made in two 9 inch pans or in a 9 x 13-inch pan - bake for about 30 minutes
