Chocolate Chip Pound Cake

Today I tried out my new KitchenAid stand mixer. This was my lovely Christmas present from my wonderful husband. This year was the first time I didn't really request a specific gift, but I was thrilled with his choice. It was very unexpected.

For my first cooking project with the mixer, I decided to do a Chocolate Chip Pound Cake. It is absolutely delicious. I have included the recipe I used below. It came from Recipe Gold Mine. I hope you enjoy!

Cream Cheese Chocolate Chip Pound Cake

1 cup sweet butter

8 ounces cream cheese

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

4 eggs

3 cups all-purpose flour

3 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/2 cup whole milk

12 ounce mini chocolate chips (I used the regular size)

Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Butter and flour a 10-inch tube or Bundt pan (unless it’s a nonstick pan).

Cream together the butter and cream cheese. Gradually add the sugar, eggs and the remaining ingredients in order they appear. (I sprinkled extra chips on top before I baked it.)

Pour the mixture into the pan and bake for 60 to 65 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack and invert onto a serving platter.
