Tuesday Treats: Chocolate Chip Cake

We were at my parents' cabin this weekend and S requested blueberry cake for breakfast. So I made it for him, using up all the frozen blueberries in the freezer. Then he requested it again the next day. But it was gone. So I told him I'd make him a special treat, and out of the oven popped this chocolate chip cake.

As S says, it's like a giant chocolate chip cookie. The mini chocolate chips make it very chocolatey. You could probably get by with just one cup of mini chips, if you're not a super chocolate fan. Otherwise, keep it at two and have a big glass of milk handy to wash it all down.
