Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F and prepare an 8×8-inch baking dish by lining it with aluminum foil, allowing some overhang.

- In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and kosher salt.
- Gradually add 1¾ cups of cake flour and mix until combined.
- In another bowl, mix the remaining 1¼ cups of cake flour, granulated sugar, kosher salt, and baking soda.
- In a separate bowl, cream the pieces of room temperature butter until fluffy, then add the buttermilk, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, mixing well.
- Combine both mixtures, adding in half of the mini chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly, and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 63 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let it cool, then sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, consider using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
Ensure the butter and buttermilk are at room temperature for better mixing.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
