This cake was so delicious! I baked it in a 9×13 for 40 minutes which was perfect and even perhaps could have stopped at 35 minutes. The yellow cake was so moist and soft, I’d even make this as just a plain yellow cake. The chocolate chips sank so next time I’ll probably toss with flour before mixing in but even so this was a total hit! Will make again!

It’s looking delicious but I keep open the oven to check on it. Thanks for your advice!

Hi Robyn! The recipe is for 2 (8×8 inch) pans rather than 9×13, so you can make that way and freeze.

If I divided this between to 9 x 9s what would be my approximate cooking time. Then could I freeze one unfrosted that would be ideal . Always need a cake in the freezer!

Also whenever you make bar cakes / brownies of any kind I’m always impressed at how perfectly even they are – mine are always so wonky! Do you break out the ruler or just have a great eye for straight lines?? August went so quick over here here- totally denying that it is September.

Thank you so much for this adorable cake! I’m going to try this tonight. Will the batter make one or two cakes if I use a 9×13? I tried to math it out but got too confused. Also, do you have any special instructions for cooling the 9×13? Can’t wait!

This one looks superb. Congratulations on aunthood! As an aunt of 8 I can attest it’s the best. Now off to ogle that new gem of a cookbook and allllll the ice cream sandwiches. <3
