INSTRUCTIONS

To make the cake:

    • Add all of the ingredients except for the butter to a mixing bowl and whisk well to combine.
    • Pour in the melted butter and chocolate chips into the batter and use an electric mixer on low speed, mixing the batter until it’s just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.

For the topping:

  • To make the topping, whisk together the brown sugar and cinnamon.
  • Sprinkle the topping over the top of the cake and use a butter knife to swirl the topping into the batter.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes.

To glaze:

  • Whisk together the powdered sugar and milk to make the glaze. Add additional milk 1 tablespoon at a time to reach the consistency you prefer. Pour the glaze over the warm cake.
  • Let glaze set before slicing and serving.

TIPS & NOTES:

Easy Option: If you’re in a rush, skip the homemade cake batter and use a cake mix instead. Just prepare as directed, stir in the chocolate chips, and continue as the recipe says. Bake according to package directions.

Storage: Store the cake tightly covered at room temperature for 3-4 days.
