Pecan-Chocolate Chip Pound Cake image

This cake's one I prepare frequently for Sunday dinner. I also make it for church meetings and to take to friends who are sick. It goes a long way-unless you have some real "chocoholics"! I've been cooking as long as I've been married, for almost 30 years. My husband's the director of a Christian youth missionary organization, and our two children are 19 and 17.

This cake was a bit dry for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The flavor was still good and it was easy to make.

I've tried this recipe twice now and both times it's turned out perfectly. It's a great recipe for a classic pound cake with a fun twist from the pecans and chocolate chips.

This pound cake was delicious! The only thing I would change is to add a bit more chocolate chips next time. Otherwise, it was perfect!

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was still good. I think I would try a different recipe next time.
