How to Make Doodle Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the milk and chocolate chips.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 75-90 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (Note: My oven requires an additional 15 minutes baking time; adjust as needed for your oven).
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cool, frost with your favorite frosting and enjoy!
