CHOCOLATE CHIP CAKE



Chocolate Chip Cake image

Provided by judith

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups (210g) all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt, optional
1/4 cup (55g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1/4 cup (60 ml) canola or vegetable oil
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup (180 ml) buttermilk, sour cream or heavy cream
1 cup (170g) chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • Note: In this step it's possible to whisk the ingredients in the same order with a hand whisk instead of using a mixer. Mixing the ingredient slowly and with the paddle attachment in the mixer gives the cake a more 'cakey', light texture. In this case there's no need to mix for a few minutes, mix only until the ingredients are combined.In a medium bowl using a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter, oil, and sugar on medium speed for about 4 minutes, until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as necessary. Add eggs and vanilla extract and beat until combined. On low speed, beat in flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with the buttermilk (or sour cream/heavy cream) in 2 additions, starting and ending with the flour. Mix in chocolate chips. Once all is added, be careful not to overmix the batter.
  • Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly while baking, cover pan loosely with aluminum foil. Allow cake to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Store cake at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Serve at room temperature.

CHOCOLATE-CHOCOLATE CHIP POUND CAKE



Chocolate-Chocolate Chip Pound Cake image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield 8 to 10 slices of pound cake

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 sticks salted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the pan
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
3 large eggs, plus 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups organic cane sugar
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Make the pound cake: Preheat the oven to 350˚. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan, then line with parchment paper in two overlapping strips, leaving an overhang. Butter the parchment and lightly dust with flour, tapping out the excess.
  • Microwave the heavy cream in a small microwave-safe bowl until steaming, about 1 minute. Pour over the cocoa powder in a medium bowl and stir to make a thick smooth paste; let cool.
  • Whisk the eggs, egg yolk and vanilla in a medium bowl until frothy; set aside. Beat the butter and cane sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until well combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Scrape down the bowl and increase the mixer speed to medium high. Beat until pale and fluffy, 6 to 7 minutes.
  • Add the cocoa mixture to the butter mixture; beat until well combined, 1 minute. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour until just combined. Gradually add the egg mixture and beat until combined. Scrape down the bowl, increase the speed to medium and beat until smooth and fluffy, about 30 seconds. Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake until the top springs back when gently pressed and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool 10 to 15 minutes in the pan. Lift the cake from the pan and remove the parchment; return the cake to the rack to cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar just before serving.

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Pound Cake Mix: Opt for a high-quality pound cake mix to ensure a delicious and moist result.
  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Soften butter and bring eggs to room temperature to allow them to combine smoothly and result in a uniform batter.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can result in a tough and dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Bake at the Correct Temperature: Follow the recipe's recommended baking temperature and time to achieve the perfect texture and doneness.
  • Cool the Cake Completely: Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing or frosting to prevent the topping from becoming runny or melting.

Conclusion:

With its simple ingredients, straightforward preparation, and delectable taste, this Easiest Chocolate Chip Pound Cake is a must-try recipe for bakers of all skill levels. Whether you're a seasoned baker or just starting out, this cake is sure to impress with its moist texture, rich chocolate flavor, and the delightful addition of chocolate chips.
