CHOCOLATE-CHOCOLATE CHIP POUND CAKE

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.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the cake batter mix more evenly and produce a more tender cake.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter cake.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter: Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Overbaking will dry out the cake.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

This easy chocolate chip pound cake recipe is a delicious and classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and tender crumb, rich chocolate flavor, and crunchy chocolate chips, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a simple and satisfying dessert, give this chocolate chip pound cake recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
