An easy dessert worthy of any celebration – this Chocolate Chip Butter Cake is a breeze to make!
I have a very dear friend who would always laugh when I said that something was ‘super easy’ to make. You know – super easy things like brownies, ice box pie or even ice cream. She had a hard time believing that there were things out there that were worth the time and effort to make that could actually be accomplished by someone without very much kitchen confidence.
I’m going to make a new category here on C&C – Super Easy. All the recipes that really are ‘super easy’ will be filed here, no guessing – even for the kitchen novice. Simple instructions for easy and delicious meals and desserts….this one’s dedicated to you, Em.
How could there be anything bad about a recipe that is titled Chocolate Chip Butter Cake?! This is the cake you whip up on a Saturday morning to enjoy over dinner with friends later in that evening, a quick cake to make on Tuesday evening when you realize you’re in charge of bringing dessert to a meeting the next day. This cake is perfect unadorned, but I couldn’t resist topping with one of my favorite chocolate frostings and, of course, a few sprinkles.
This super easy recipe for chocolate chip butter cake can be enjoyed in no time and is the perfect way to satisfy your sweet tooth!

Made this the other day for coworkers and less than half the cake made it out of the house. Coworkers requested another full cake because it was so tasty & moist.
So glad you enjoyed it!
