If you love the soft, tender crumb of a buttery, sweet vanilla loaf but want to combine it with chocolate chip cookies, this is your recipe. This cake is studded with melty chocolate chips and bound to be a new favorite. Sour cream adds moisture, a touch of olive oil lends richness, and the simple ganache topping makes it feel just a little more special.
It’s the kind of cake you can serve for birthdays, brunches, or afternoon tea—or keep on the counter for whenever you need a sweet bite. A sprinkle of mini chocolate chips on top finishes it off with just the right amount of chocolatey charm. This can be served with morning coffee or even as an evening dessert.
What makes this cake so good? It’s all about balance. The loaf itself is moist and plush, with a vanilla-forward flavor and mini chocolate chips in every bite. The ganache on top is optional but highly recommended—it adds a rich, glossy finish that makes each slice feel a bit more decadent. This cake keeps beautifully and tastes even better the next day.
