• 2/3 cup butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees (325 if using a glass pan). Grease a 9 X 13 pan with cooking spray. In a large bowl combine all of the cake batter ingredients. Mix for 1 minute at low speed; mix 3 minutes at medium speed. Pour 1/2 of batter into greased pan. Generously sprinkle cinnamon and sugar over batter making sure to get the corners and then sprinkle with 1/2 bag of chocolate chips. Pour remaining cake batter on top and spread across bottom layer. Repeat with cinnamon and sugar and chocolate chips. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with only a few crumbs (don’t overbake or cake will be dry!).

This cake is served best the same day it is made…and I enjoy it slightly warm but if you have leftovers, it does wonders to warm each piece up slightly in the microwave (about 10 to 15 seconds) before serving again.
