This chocolate chip cake is wonderfully moist, and takes just 15 minutes to prepare.
Packed with gooey chocolate chips throughout, this chocolate chip cake can be adapted into a birthday cake or even cupcakes. The chocolate chips hide a treat in every bite and the sweet, rich chocolate frosting tops it off perfectly. Decorate with Maltesers, crushed Kit-Kat or Twirl for a naughty but nice finish. You could even serve with a dash of cream or ice cream as a sweet dessert which the whole family can enjoy.

- 200g softened butter or margarine

- 3 eggs
- 320g self-raising flour

- Grease a 22cm round tin and line with baking parchment
- Cream the butter and sugar together. Add one egg at a time and beat thoroughly between addition. Add the flour and mix until just combined.
- Stir through the chocolate chips and pour into the prepared tin
- Bake for 30 mins. Cover loosely with foil and bake for a further 20 - 30 mins, or until a cocktail stick inserted in the centre comes out clean
