Chocolate Chip Cornbread in a Cast Iron Loaf Pan

I have a vast collection of Cast Iron Cookware.  Cornbread isn't just for Dinner anymore. Here's a great alternative to Breakfast Coffee Cake. Maybe it's a Texas thing to add Chocolate to our Cornbread and serve it for Breakfast. The addition of Chocolate Chips is delicious.
