How Do I Keep My Chocolate Chips From Sinking??

I coated them in flour and folded them into the cake batter. I tried the chocolate chip pound cake in the recipe section. I only had one bag of chocolate chips for 2 batters of cake mix.. this was for an 8" cake. There are some in the center of the cake but most went to the bottom. Maybe I needed another bag of chocolate chips?
usually dusting them w/flour or the dry cake mix works. That sounds like you had plenty of chips for the amount of batter. I bet they are distrubited better than you think.
Next time use mini chips
I never even thought about using mini chips! Made this for a family birthday so I can't wait to cut into it later.
Yup - I would use mini chips and coat them with flour (I just dump them in a gallon zip bag with about a tablespoon of flour and shake).

That's what I would suggest. I use the mini chips because I can't keep the larger ones from sinking even when coating with flour.

Ditto!
I used the mini chip and every last one of them sank to the bottom. I didnt think they had enough weight to them to make them sink, but sink they did...I'll have to try coating them with flour next time.
I wanted to test this out on a family members birthday before selling to an actual client. My family LOVES being my guinea pig! Sure enough all the chips went to the bottom not even one chip in the middle. So it is mini chips all the way next time!
