Chocolate Chunks Pound Cake : A Twist To Lesli's Pound Cake

I've told you guys my love for pound cake and thanks to my fellow FORKS blogger, Lesli, I was able to conquer my fear in making my own pound cake. I took the recipe further by adding chocolate in my second attempt to make it. 'Coz as you all know, everything is so much better with chocolate :)


Following Lesli's recipe, I just added chocolate chunks in the mixture at the last step and gently folded them into the mixture.

Ingredients

2 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 butter, softened
1 c. sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. sour cream
Half a bag of chocolate chunks

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9"x5" loaf pan.
2. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs. Stir in vanilla.
4. Fold in flour mixture alternately with sour cream. Pour half-a bag of chocolate chunks and gently fold them into the mixture.

5. Spoon batter into prepared pan. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

6. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan to cool completely.

Don't you just love adding twists to recipes and come up with something so delish? Especially anything with chocolate?. I'm warning you though. Try to limit yourself with 1 slice a day or you're going to be doubling your work-out :)
