Stracciatellakuchen

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. You can also line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set the dry ingredients aside for now.

3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. You can use a hand mixer or a stand mixer for this step.

4. Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

6. Gently fold in the chopped or chocolate chips into the batter. The chocolate flakes should be evenly distributed throughout the batter.

7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Allow the Stracciatellakuchen to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before removing it from the pan and transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar for a final touch.

9. Slice the Stracciatellakuchen into wedges and serve it either slightly warm or at room temperature. This cake pairs wonderfully with a cup of hot coffee or tea for the ultimate cozy indulgence.
