TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 1 hour + cooling YIELD: 14 servings.
My mom has been making this chocolate chip cake recipe for 30 years. Topped with a chocolate glaze, it is absolutely divine, I once got up at 5 a.m. to bake a cake before work so the ladies in my office could enjoy it warm from the oven. They loved it! —Michelle Werts Brookville, Ohio

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups sugar
