Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set it aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Set aside. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cut into squares and serve warm.

Notes

Don’t overmix the batter, as it can lead to a dense cake.

Make sure to cream the sugar and butter until light and fluffy for the best results.

If you want a gooey chocolate center, bake the cake for 30-32 minutes instead of 35-40 minutes.

You can also customize the recipe by adding nuts or cinnamon to the batter for added flavor.

The cake will keep at room temperature for up to 3 days, or you can wrap it tightly and freeze for up to 2 months.

Let the cake cool completely before cutting into squares for neater slices.
