Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened ½ cup = 1 stick
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs preferably at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cup plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup milk dairy or unsweetened non-dairy
  • 1 ¼ cup mini chocolate chips semi-sweet or dark chocolate

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a 9-inch loaf pan by greasing with cooking spray or lining with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or whisk to cream together the butter, and sugar until well combined (about 3 minutes).

  • Next, add the vanilla extract and Greek yogurt and combine. At this point you may notice the batter is a little bit grainy—that's okay!

  • Then, add the flour, baking powder, and salt and mix to combine. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl, making sure you integrate all of the dry ingredients. Mix only as much as you need to.

  • With the mixer on low, slowly add the milk to thin out the batter.

  • Bake on the top rack for 60-75 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow your chocolate chip loaf cake to cool completely before slicing into it and enjoying!

Notes

  • If you want a crispy top, sprinkle a handful of granulated sugar on top of your loaf before placing it in the oven!
  • Option to sprinkle your loaf with powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
