Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Grease and flour a 10-inch tube baking pan, or line with parchment paper.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until smooth and well blended.
  4. Stir in the melted unsweetened chocolate until fully incorporated.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the mixture is fluffy.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cake flour and baking soda.
  7. Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour.
  8. Stir in the vanilla extract until the batter is smooth.
  9. Toss the chocolate chips with the 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour to prevent sinking, then fold them into the batter.
  10. Turn the batter into the prepared tube pan, spreading it evenly.
  11. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
  13. Remove the cake from the pan and place it on the wire rack to cool completely.
  14. Garnish with fresh sliced strawberries or other berries before serving.
  15. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
