Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease an 8x4 inch bread loaf pan. Set it aside.
Add your sugar and butter to a large mixing bowl.
Cream together until light and fluffy. This should take about 2 minutes.
Add in one egg. Mix well to combine.
Add in the other eggs, mixing well to combine between each addition.
Add in sour cream and vanilla. Mix again to combine.
Add in the salt, baking powder, and flour. Mix to combine, but do not overmix. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as you go.
Add the chocolate chips. Fold together until well distributed.
Pour the batter into your bread pan and spread it down smoothly.
Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick can be inserted and come out clean (or with only melted chocolate on it).
After 10 minutes, flip the bread out of the pan and onto a wire cooling rack.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Avoid overmixing batter to maintain texture; it will be thick due to sour cream and butter.
If loaf browns quickly, cover loosely with foil.
Cool cake for about an hour before slicing to retain moisture.
Use any chocolate chip variety, but mini semi-sweet chips are recommended.
Store cake in an airtight container at room temperature; consume within a week, best within 2-3 days.
