Cake with chocolate chips

This weekend I finally baked another Sunday cake, a loaf cake with roughly chopped chocolate chips. The recipe is pretty simple, actually quick and the cake tastes delicious!

Ingredients

5 eggs

180 g powdered sugar

250 g soft butter

240 g flour

2 Tbsp potato flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

120 g chopped chocolate

Preparation

An hour before baking, let the butter soften at room temperature.

Then preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C) upper/lower heat.

Mix the eggs with the powdered sugar until foamy.

Stir in the beautifully soft butter.

Then mix the flour, potato flour and baking powder. (By the way, in Icelandic, “baking powder” is called “lyftiduft” - definitely one of my favorite words.)

Fold the roughly chopped chocolate into the dough with a spoon.

Then pour the dough into a greased or lined king cake mold...

...and let it bake in the oven on the middle rack at 350 °F (180 °C) upper and lower heat for about 50 minutes (test with a toothpick!).

In the last quarter of an hour, check the cake every now and then to make sure it isn't getting too dark and, if in doubt, cover it with aluminum foil or something similar.

The cake tastes best fresh, but you can still eat it the second day!
