How to Make Chocolate Chip Orange Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar.
  3. Stir in 1 cup chopped nuts (optional) and 3/4 cup chocolate chips.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1/4 cup orange juice, 1 tablespoon orange zest, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Add 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter or margarine to the wet ingredients and whisk until combined.
  6. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips evenly over the top.
  8. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once completely cool, slice and serve. Enjoy!
