Description
A rich, buttery pound cake studded with chocolate chips that stays moist for days. Perfect for family gatherings, gifts, or everyday treats.
Ingredients
1½ cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
3 cups granulated sugar
6 large eggs, at room temperature
3 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup milk, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons flour (for coating chocolate chips)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F. Thoroughly grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or two 9×5-inch loaf pans.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy, about 2 minutes. Gradually add sugar and continue beating until light and fluffy, about 5-7 minutes.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Alternate adding the flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Mix just until combined after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
Toss chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons flour. Gently fold them into the batter.
Pour batter into prepared pan(s). Bake for 1 hour and 15-30 minutes for a bundt cake, or 55-65 minutes for loaf pans, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Let cake cool in pan for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Room temperature ingredients create a better texture. Set eggs, butter, and milk out an hour before baking if possible.
After greasing and flouring your pan, refrigerate for 10 minutes before adding batter to prevent sticking.
Don’t overmix after adding the flour to avoid a tough texture.
Check for doneness early as all ovens vary in temperature.
Store wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, then foil. Stays moist for up to 5 days at room temperature.
