Heat the oven to 350°F and grease/flour a loaf pan.
Make the Batter
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoons salt.
In a large bowl, beat together the ½ cup butter, 1 cup white sugar, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth
Add the flour mixture and 1 cup milk to the batter (alternated adding and mixing) until combined.
Fold in 4.5 ounces mini chocolate chips.
Bake
Pour batter into loaf pan and sprinkle a small amount of chocolate chips over the top (optional), then bake 40-45 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean.
Allow to cool in the pan 5 minutes, then remove to a wire rack and allow to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Do not overmix. Stir just until combined for a soft crumb.
Use mini chocolate chips. They distribute more evenly in every slice.
Check early. Start testing 5 minutes before the listed bake time since ovens vary.
Cool before slicing. It finishes setting as it cools, so give it a little patience.
