Chocolate Chip Cake with Walnut Recipe

A butter based chocolate chip cake is a cake in which the main ingredient is butter. considered to be among the quintessential of American baking, it does has its roots buried deep in the English Pound Cake which traditionally uses equal amount of butter, sugar, eggs and flour to produce a heavy, rich cake. As the years progresses by and ingredients are more diverse and easier to acquire. Many variations of the plain butter or pound cakes appeared with endless variety of 'fillings'. Among my many personal favourites, the Chocolate Chip Cake with walnut is indeed a pleasure to sink your teeth into. This cake is indeed a joy to try it for yourself and you won't be disappointed with the taste.

Method
1) Cream butter and sugar together in mixing bowl till smooth.
