Hi just wondering if any one can help me (although i think im beyond help lmao) when ever i make a chocolate chip cake the chips sink to the bottom and make a horrible mess, i always make a madeira cake as it is a great texture for covering with fondant. Any ideas on how to stop choloate chips from sinking would be great x
Just coat them in a little flour. Works great.
coat the chips in flour or cake mix! place them in a zip lock bag and add flour/cake mix shake it all around and add it to the rest of the mix

This is a great idea. I never thought of this. I wonder if this would work for other items besides chocolate chips. I was once asked about making a cake with skittles in it. Do you think this will work for the skittles as well?
it may but might be too heavy...let me know how it turns out if you try it!

I use flour to keep raisins and candied fruit from sinking. Have never tried skittles, but a trial run would certainly taste good!
Flour would probably work for the skittles too. The flour binds to the batter keeping the candy from sinking. Skittles? never would have thought of this, how fun to cut into a cake and find skittles! Im trying this for my nieces cake coming up in March
I never coat the chocolate chips with anything & it always turns out perfect, but my patter is relatively thick, so with skittles ill prob try both since they are way heavier than the choc.chips ( flour & thick batter)
let us know how it turns out, my kids are going to LOVE this idea! thanks 
Additions such as dried fruit, nuts, candies, (especially heavier chocolate chips and chunks) sink in a batter because the batter is too thin to support them. Flouring these additions will sometimes appear to work because the additional flour is enough to thicken the batter. So it makes sense that mini-chocolate chips have a better chance of staying afloat.
Try experimenting with your batters. Add chips to a thicker batter and see if they fall. It took me years to figure this out...
