Thank you, Denise. I hate that my chocolate chips sank to the bottom, despite coating them with flour. Oh well, it tasted good and had a great texture anyway. I'm going to slice it up and freeze the pieces tomorrow. My husband and I are both feeling a lot better now. It was just a really bad cold, no flu or covid, thankfully. I'm so glad that you stopped by my friend, thanks for watching!
@@ElainesCountryHome I know . . . those things can be disappointing. You did all that I know to do to prevent the sinking. But, it's still a lovely cake and I bet it tasted delicious!! Thankful you didn't have the flu or covid. RSV is bad around here - even for adults.
So frustrating when chocolate chips or blueberries "sink", even if coated in flour! ...Gravity will win during some conditions! The consistency of a batter is most often just part of the characteristics of the recipe you’re making, and there’s no way around that. A thin batter just won’t hold up chocolate chips... However, it is good to keep in mind that there are some reasons your batter might be thinner than it should be. If it’s over-mixed, that extra agitation can make a batter too thin. Or if the batter gets too warm, like in a hot kitchen, then it can also be thinner than normal. Make sure to mix just until combined (unless otherwise directed by the recipe) and to keep your kitchen as cool as you can... I want to make your recipe! 😋 I like using those mini-chocolate chips. 😁

NIce to see you again, Elaine! Sounds like you've been very busy. Glad your illness didn't interfere with your travel. The cake looks decadent!
