Chocolate Chip Loaf Cake

I host a lot of tea parties and guests at my home on a regular basis. A lot of the time I make tea cakes and I want to try new ideas every so often. But this chocolate chip loaf cake has been a huge hit with every guest that has tried it. I even had kids ask if they could take it home with them. Ofcourse! Is always my answer. I love how this recipe is easy to make and you only need one bowl to mix it all in.
