More chocolate gloriousness for Bunco prizes. The only bad part is I didn’t get to eat any of it.

2 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

6 tablespoons butter, softened or 4 1/2 tablespoons of oil

2/3 cup sugar

3 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup buttermilk

1/2 – 1 cup chocolate chips

1 Preheat oven to 350. Spray loaf pan with cooking spray for baking.

2 Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.

3 In a mixer bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each. Add in vanilla and mix.

4 Add half the dry ingredients and beat just until combined then add in half the buttermilk and beat just until combined then repeat with remaining dry mixture and buttermilk. Stir in chocolate chips by hand.

5 Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake 45 – 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool in pan 15 minutes before removing to cool completely.
