- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set aside. 
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. 
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. 
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. 
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. 
- Fold in the chocolate chips gently until evenly distributed. 
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. 
- Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
