How To Make It: 

To bake this chocolate chip recipe from scratch,  you need to follow the recipe below: 

• Step 1:

Begin by setting your baking base, and preheat your oven to 350°F/180°C. Take a pan of around 9*5 inches, grease it thoroughly and set it aside. 

• Step 2: 

In this step, take care of your dry ingredients. Mix in your all-purpose flour with baking powder and a dash of salt. 

• Step 3: 

Moving on to the wet ingredients, you’ll need a mixer and a medium-sized bowl for smooth results. Add butter, oil, and sugar to the bowl. Beat all three together for about 4-5 minutes until you get a fluffy texture.  

• Step 4: 

Add eggs and vanilla extract and beat until combined. On low speed, beat in the flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with the buttermilk (or sour cream/heavy cream) in 2 additions, starting and ending with the flour. 

• Step 5: 

Mix in chocolate chips. Once all is added, be careful not to overmix the batter. 

• Step 6: 

 Now pour your batter into your pre-greased pan and bake it for nearly 50-60 minutes or until you can prick a toothpick into the cake and it comes out dry. 

Lastly: 

Let the cake cool to room temperature for a while on a wire rack.
