Ingredients:
- 150g sugar
- 125g margarine or butter
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 175g self-raising flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 100g chocolate chips
Method:
- Beat the sugar and margarine together.
- Add the eggs.
- Stir in the flour, baking powder and chocolate chips.
- Add the milk.
- Grease a 1.5lb loaf tin and line it with greaseproof paper. Pour the mixture into the tin, using the back of a spoon to spread the mixture into an even layer.
- Bake for 50 minutes at 180°C (conventional oven) or 160°C (fan). When it has been in the oven for 20 minutes, cover the cake with foil. This prevents the top from burning while the inside continues to bake.
- Leave to cool, cut into slices and get munching!
Tips:
- You can either use shop-bought chocolate chips, or buy a bar of chocolate and chop it into small chunks yourself; either will work just fine.
- If you’re using an Aga Classic, follow the recipe above, but when it comes to baking your loaf cake, forty minutes with the shelf in does the trick (cover with foil after twenty minutes as above).
