This lovely breakfast cake graced our Sunday morning table. Served warm with butter, it was outstanding. If you are like me, I have always placed cornbread in the savory category of foods, however with chocolate chips, it is the perfect coffee companion.
I recently found this recipe in an old issue of Gourmet Magazine. I must admit I do miss that publication, however I found a stack of about five old issues I had never looked at, what a score.
After the Cornmeal-Blueberry Scones, I wasn't done with cornmeal and craved something else, well..."corny".
Anyways, this little cake is moist with the perfect layers of sweetness. I was given an all around thumbs up for this one. I guarantee you will too, give it a try.
Sift and whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
Stir in chocolate chips.
In a medium bowl, mix together milk, oil and eggs.
Add milk mixture to the dry ingredients; stir just enough to blend. Pour into a 9 x 5 x 3 metal loaf pan that has been coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 35 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Invert carefully onto a cooling rack. Cool slightly.
Slice and serve warm with lots of butter.

This is an unusual take on cornbread!
My mom’s favorite corn bread is almost more like a dessert cake and is so good. I can only imagine how much better it is with chocolate chips! Sounds good to me!
How wonderful combining two things I love: cornbread and chocolate chips! And serving them for breakfast, which is even better.
More like a breakfast, lunch and dinner cake, if you ask me…
You and all this cornbread are going to kill me. I swear.
When I was a kid we would break up left over corn bread, put it in a glass, and pour milk over it. I’ll bet this would be amazing like that!
Oh, my GOD that looks so great! Makes me hungry!!!
Now that is cornbread I need to taste!
Fabulous idea! I would have never thought to put chocolate chips in cornbread but now I wonder how I could not. I will be trying this soon.
Oooh, I love you being in this “corny” mood, Cathy!
I’ve made cornmeal pound cake before that was terrific and great cornmeal cookies, but never combined cornmeal with chocolate. YUM!
Thank you!

I love the nutty taste of cornmeal so I am definitely not finished experimenting with it. My children will be smiling all the way to school with a slice or 2 of this bread in their tum-tums!!!
Mmmmm Yes, I want this for breakfast every morning.
One more food I want to be alone with.
Looks great! I love that melted butter on top!
I would have never thought to put chocolate chips in corn bread. I am so making this!
Oh, I love that this is just barely sweet, with only 1/4 c sugar. I would love this for breakfast. Yum.
Oh my… so good looking!
That is a fine looking breakfast, lunch, dinner and in between cake with chocolate chips:-).
Now this is something very different. I”m sure great. Gourmet Magazine is greatly missed. I’m glad I have a stack of them.
Oh man, you’re killing me. This looks delicious – wonder how well it would keep in my “hidey hole” cause I’d have to keep it away from the big guy or I wouldn’t get a crumb! LOL
I would never had thought to add chocolate to corn bread. I would love a slice with my morning coffee.
Oh, I love any excuse to get out chocolate chips.
More cornmeal, breakfast goodness…count me in.
excellent way to sneak chocolate into breakfast and delightful vehicle for MORE BUTTER. pretty, too.
I’m not a fan of chocolate chips, but I have a house full of people who are! I’d surely be adored on a Sunday morning after serving this!
Uhhh, yeah… I will be making this.
This is perfect because I’ve been on a cornmeal kick lately. I’d love to have a slice of this with a cappuccino.
Love everything about this dish! I will miss my Gourmet magazine too – but I’ve got plenty more!
Happy Monday – hope all is well with you!
I’m just loving all the things you are doing with cornmeal! Much as this loaf looks wonderful (and I WILL try it), I just read the scone post. My oh my. I’m making that one first!
I’m thinking you must have gotten a barrel load of cornmeal somewhere, LOL! Another delicious cornmeal dish that isn’t cornbread. Bravo!
I love the idea of cornmeal in a chocolate chip bread. I would imagine the crust would have a little crunch. I’ll definitely have to try this some time. Thanks for sharing!
I adore corn bread – but seriously, this is trouble for me — cornbread WITH chocolate. WHO knew!? Thanks so much for sharing. The corn bread scones were divine!!!
Wow you are on a corn meal kick! I miss Gourmet already too…
I think I’ll make a dozen of these, drive oot to a log cabin in the middle of nowhere and eat them one by one so i don’t have to share..man this looks so good!
Looks delicious. I could easily have that for breakfast!
I must have missed this update! This look scrumptious. I might even have all the ingredients on hand
Yum. I love my cornbread on the sweet side rather than the southern tradition of having one with without sugar. Looks great withthe chocolate chips.
Wow! That’s really mouth-watering! I’ll really have a good morning seeing this on the top of my breakfast table.
I can’t wait to make this heavenly cornbread! Yummy!
Cath, I love any cornmeal “cake”.
Chocolate chips? Looks FANTASTIC!
I have to stay away from this recipe, or I would eat the whole loaf!
I have missed blogging and your delicious yummy recipes……these look so good…this bread and the scones before ….and I am missing reading you….trying to get my act together….you as ALWAYS are AMAZING!
Great quick bread! I made it today and it’s just perfect for breakfast (and any other time you want a snack!)
Moist and not too sweet, the cornbread really goes well with chocolate. I subbed butter instead of canola oil and ate it plain.
That cake looks very yummy! Thanks for giving in the recipe.
I made this and for some reason the chocolate chips sunk to the bottom of the cake and made it stick.
Any idea what I did wrong?
Gina
this is so unique! great recipe
