  1. Well, it sounds like you are doing everything right. Try adding another egg to your cake to make it suspend the chips better.

    Or simply change your chips - use those miniature ones instead..... same quantity/volume, just smaller by mass, it should help.

    Good luck!
  2. try not to make the cake too liquidy put extra flour.
  3. Coat your chocolate chips with flour before adding them to your cake to prevent them from sinking. This works with other additions such as raisins or nuts as well.
  4. by adding more flour it will increase the density of your batter, it will be less fudg-y and more cake-y but all your chips will be in the middle

    Or you could always make it a bundt cake and after baking turn it upside down and sift some powdered sugar on it then drizzle melted chocolate over the top. It will mean that the chips are more of a topping that is baked in and the contrast of the sugar and the richness-looking chocolate will add a nice effect.
  5. Try smashing the chips up a bit, then coat them lightly in flour. We had the same problem with blueberries, and muffins. Low and behold this silly simple trick worked!
  6. u must not bake to long and make the flour thicker
  7. when i make blue berry muffins, i coat the blueberrys with the dry ingredients from the recipe. Try the same thing, coat the choc. with the wet ingredients first just to get them wet then with the dry and at the end, mix them with the finished batter
