Ingredients:

½ cup of unsalted butter, softened

1 cup of milk
2 tbsp of baking powder
¼ tsp of salt
1 cup of chocolate chips (or a variation of your favorite filling)
1 tbsp of lemon zest (optional for a citrusy twist)
Directions:
Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it nice and warm while you prepare the ingredients.
Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
Prepare the wet ingredients: In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth.
Add the fillings: Gently fold in the chocolate chips (or your preferred filling), making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Bake: Pour the batter into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish or your preferred pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the dish to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your heavenly creation!
