I'm not sure how to answer th question. It was just called chocolate chip cake, a recipe I got from Jan and I guess I didn't know about that hint of mixing a little flour with your chocolate chips or raisins or whatever. And all the chocolate chips were at the bottom. Besides that, it was good, moist and then i put some cream cheese frosting on it. We liked it but I thought the chocolate chips should have mixed in more. So some of them were on the bottom of the pan when you would cut a piece of cake. It's been about 3 years now and I haven't been brave enough to try it again but I would really like to ddo it again. Lora
