Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups All-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Baking powder
1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) Unsalted butter, softened
1 cup Granulated sugar
1/2 cup, packed Brown sugar
2 Large eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
1/2 cup Sour cream or plain yogurt
1 cup, semi-sweet or dark Chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray or butter, and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the sour cream or yogurt, starting and ending with the flour. Mix until just combined to avoid overmixing.
Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
