1
Preheat your oven to 185 - no fan.
In a mixing bowl combine your egg, soft margarine or butter and Canderel. Beat on a medium speed for 2 minutes. Dont worry if it looks 'curdled' it will come together when you add the dry goods.
In a medium bowl sift together, flour, baking powder and baking soda.
Divide your dry goods into 3 and alternatively add the dry followed by your liquid.
Add a good handful of chocolate chips and beat well.
(At this stage you could add whatever flavour appeals. I have turned this into a lemon drizzle cake, adding lemon juice and grated lemon rind and finishing off with lemon syrup poured over the top when cooked. Also grated apple and cinnamon and a plain raisin cake)
The batter should be nice and loose, but not runny. Pour into a greased and lined loaf tin and bake for 25 minutes.
Leave it on a wire rack to cool.
