Transfer the batter to the loaf pan and if desired top the cake batter with the extra 3 tablespoons of chocolate chips. Bake in the middle rack of your oven for 50 - 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of your cake comes out clean.
Allow to cool in your loaf pan for 5 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack.
