Too Easy Chocolate Chip Peach Cake

I don't bake much. It just doesn't get my creative juices flowing quite like stringing together a healthy, balanced, and economical meal that most of my family might eat. But when I ask a friend if there's something I can do to help, I mean it. And if the response is that I should bring cake... Well by golly, I'll bake a cake! Here's the thing, my one go-to easy cake is the Apple Sauce Cake recipe given to me by the same person to whose house I would be bringing the cake! 

I felt something new was in order. Then I remembered, many moons ago, my friend Shoshana told me about this super easy cake she makes. I remember her saying something like, "You just mix the ingredients in the order listed, and it always comes out great." Thanks to the miracle of email search, I just typed in "shoshana cake" and there was the recipe, right before a couple conversations that include discussion of rice cakes!


So here it is. The recipe so simple I remembered it over eight years later:

• 3 eggs
• 1 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 cup oil
• 2 1/4 cups flour
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• Can of peaches
• 1 cup chocolate chips

1. Combine wet ingredients, then flour and baking soda, and add cinnamon, peaches, and chocolate chips last.
2. Bake in an un-greased 9 X 13 pan (I guess it has enough oil!) at 350 for about 45 minutes.
