Tips:

  • To achieve a moist and fluffy texture, make sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy before adding the eggs. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a tender crumb.
  • Use high-quality chocolate chips or finely chopped chocolate for a richer flavor. If using chocolate chips, make sure to fold them into the batter gently to avoid overmixing.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
