Moist Chocolate Cake

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
2. 2
   Start by placing the softened butter and sugar into a bowl. Beat either by hand or with an electric mixer until a light-colored creamy mixture has formed.
3. 3
   Add the eggs one by one without stopping the mixer.
4. 4
   Sift together the cocoa, flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Add little by little into the wet mixture until well incorporated.
5. 5
   Before the dry ingredients are completely mixed in, add the chocolate chips. The flour coating the chocolate will help them to not sink to the bottom of the cake.
6. 6
   Grease and flour an 18-centimeter cake pan.
7. 7
   Pour the batter out into the pan, and bake for 45 minutes. Check to see if it is done by piercing the center with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
