Chocolate Chip Pound Cake

Chocolate Chip Pound Cake

3 1/2 cups flour, plus more for dusting pans
1/2 t salt
4 eggs
4 egg yolks
1 T vanilla
1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
2 cups sugar
1 bag (1 1/2 cups) chocolate chips

1. Heat oven to 325F. Coat two 9x5x3-inch loaf pans with nonstick cooking spray; dust with flour and shake out excess. Set aside.
2. Stir together flour and salt; set aside. In small bowl, stir together eggs, egg yolks and vanilla; set aside.
3. Mix butter and sugar together on medium-high speed for 6 minutes or until very light and fluffy. Reduce speed to medium and gradually pour in egg mixture. Increase speed to medium-high and beat 3 minutes or until light and fluffy. On low speed, gradually add flour mixture and beat until just blended. Stir in chocolate chips.
4. Divide batter between prepared loaf pans and smooth tops. Bake at 325F for 1 hour, 12 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire rack for 30 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely on rack.


This was really good! The only problem I had with it was the amount of time it was in the oven; it wasn't long enough. I tested it with a cake tester to make sure it was done and I was pretty sure it was. But after I removed it from the pans onto the wire rack the middle sunk down and fell out of the cake all over the counter. So, I just stuffed it back in the pan and cooked it for another 30 minutes...which made it overdone. Sigh. The outside was a little crunchy and didn't look very pretty but the inside was very soft. Good luck!!
