CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHIP SOUR CREAM POUND CAKE



Chocolate Chocolate Chip Sour Cream Pound Cake image

After I couldn't find a recipe for chocolate sour cream pound cake, I made this recipe by combining three cake recipes and using some suggestions from my brother-in-law. It will stay moist for a week, but this cake is so good it won't last that long!

Provided by Amanda

Categories     Desserts     Cakes     Pound Cake Recipes

Time 4h5m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup unsalted butter
2 ½ cups white sugar, divided
6 eggs, separated
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Before you begin, bring all of the cold ingredients to room temperature: set out the sour cream, butter, and the eggs (separate the eggs while they are still cold) for about half an hour before making the cake batter.
  • Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and lightly flour a 10-inch tube pan. Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. Combine the sour cream and vanilla extract in a separate bowl.
  • Beat the butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl until creamy, about 30 seconds. Gradually add 2 cups of sugar and beat on high speed until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably paler in color. Add the room-temperature egg yolks one at a time, allowing each yolk to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next.
  • Pour in one third of the flour mixture and mix on low speed until combined. Blend in half of the sour cream mixture. Continue adding the flour mixture alternately with the sour cream, mixing until just incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Beat the egg whites and cream of tartar in a clean mixing bowl with clean beaters until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and beat until medium-stiff peaks are formed (lift your beater or whisk straight up: the tip of the peak formed by the egg whites should curl over slightly.) Use a whisk or rubber spatula to fold 1/3 of the meringue mixture into the cake batter to lighten it.
  • Fold the remaining egg white mixture into the batter until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake the cake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when you touch it lightly and a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for ten minutes before inverting the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.

CHOCOLATE CHIP WALNUT POUND CAKE



Chocolate Chip Walnut Pound Cake image

Categories     Cake     Chocolate     Dairy     Nut     Dessert     Bake     Fall     Gourmet

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
3 cups sugar
6 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon vanilla
a 12-ounce package semisweet chocolate chips
2 cups chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. and butter and flour a 3-quart bundt pan, knocking out excess flour.
  • In a bowl whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda.
  • In another bowl with an electric mixer beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, and beat in sour cream and vanilla until combined well. With mixer on low speed gradually beat in flour mixture until just combined.
  • Pour about half of batter into prepared pan and sprinkle about half of chocolate chips and walnuts over batter. Pour remaining batter over walnut mixture, spreading evenly, and sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips and walnuts. Bake cake in middle of oven 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean, and cool in pan on a rack 1 hour. Invert cake onto rack and cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cake. Look for chocolate chips that are made with real cocoa butter and have a high percentage of cocoa solids.
  • Toast the walnuts before adding them to the batter. This will enhance their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a well-greased and floured pan. This will help prevent the cake from sticking to the pan.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:
