Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined.
Grease a 9x9" baking dish with butter, pour the batter into the dish and bake at 350° F for 22-27 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (be careful not to over bake or the cake will dry out).
Immediately after you remove it from the oven, sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top. Let rest a few minutes then spread the chocolate chips around like a frosting. Eat warm or cool.

This cake isn’t overly sweet but if you want it less sweet you can reduce the sugar to ⅓ cup.

You can stir the chocolate chips into the batter if you prefer.
