Easy, Delicious Chocolate Chip Cake Recipe

   Last weekend was my annual GWA weekend, but one thing was missing ~ the traditional Chocolate Chip Cake. My bff tasked to bake this treasure ran out of time. So here I am on a snowy weekend poised to make one of my own (to fill the void!) Awesome weekend but I need that easy, delicious, mouth watering Chocolate Chip Cake now!! It is relatively speaking, good for you. It has a small amount of shortening, protein packed eggs, good for you spice cinnamon, great for you dark chocolate & calcium (from the sour cream, ok that may be a stretch!) So here is the recipe:

¼ lb. margarine/butter       2 cups flour

1 cup of sugar                   1 tsp. vanilla

2 eggs                               1 tsp. baking soda

1 cup sour cream               6-oz. chocolate chips (I use semi-sweet)

1-1/2 tsp. baking powder   

1 tsp. cinnamon mixed with ½ cup sugar

Cream butter, sugar & eggs. Add sour cream, vanilla, flour, baking powder & baking soda. Spread half batter into greased 13” x 9” pan. Spread half the chip & half cinnamon sugar mix over batter. Add rest of batter, then chip & cinnamon sugar mixture on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. So easy & delicious! It is a huge hit at brunches, parties, heck anytime. Yum.
