I have had a request for butter cake with chocolate chips. I was planning on using my regular scratch butter cake recipe, makes batter for two 9" round pans. I just wonder how much chocolate chips I can add to the batter without ruining the cake. Anybody knows?

I knows

Add mini choc. chips and you can add as many as you want , if you don't have minis, process your regular ones in a processor or blender till they are 1/2 size.

HTH!

I use about a half cup. I never measure though. I just put some in a bowl. Make sure that you toss in flour. If you don't they will all sink to the bottom. Flour keeps them suspended in the cake.

I have added both full size and mini chocolate chips into my cake batters. Usually I add 1 cup to a normal size 2 layer cake recipe. I toss them around in a ziploc bag with a bit of flour before adding them so they don't sink.

indigojods I must have gotten finished a second before you. two minds must think alike

alibugs - that is funny that our posts were so close in time and content. great minds do think alike!

Thank you alibugs and indigojods, indeed great minds think alike.

I had managed to catch that smaller chips are less likely to sink so bought some mini chips today. I will make sure to toss them in flour before adding them to the batter. I will try about a cup and see how that works out.

Thanks again.

oh yum, this sounds great. I might use this for my daughters b day this weekend

Oohhh......that sounds good, and I would never have known to toss them in flour. I will have to remember that!
