Pound cake is a classic of classic desserts. It wasn’t one my mom made too often but when she did it was never plain. I mean why make it plain when there are so many options of toppings and things to add into the cake. If she made it plain, we love adding strawberries and whipped cream to give it more of a strawberry shortcake feel. But I also loved the lemon. Lemon desserts are just my jam. Now, that I’m grown, it’s my turn to make them and those pound cake flavors just don’t excite my husband as it does me. He loves chocolate chip anything. Chocolate chip cookies are his thing. He’s a classic kinda guy. Well, today classic pound cake meets his love for chocolate chips for a fantastic dessert.

Having a Themed Party?

I actually used this cake for my husband’s police-themed date night. Add some sprinkles to the top and it looks just like a doughnut. It doesn’t get much better than that! Did you see my ham-burglar bites?! Tasty little appetizer and then you get dessert!

I love that bundt cakes can be brought to almost any party. They always look so elegant and never seem to disappoint. They display so well and can feed a crowd! Chocolate chip cookies are always a classic favorite so I know chocolate chip pound cake will become a favorite too! It reminds me of a chocolate chip muffin but adds some chocolate on top!… so delicious.

Really you can leave the frosting off the top, but if you are a chocolate fan, I don’t recommend it! With the frosting, doesn’t it resemble another favorite?…. Maybe a chocolate glazed donut? Add some sprinkles and it makes everyone cheery!

I’ll be giving you all the tips soon for having a police-themed party so stay tuned for that!

Tips for Making Chocolate Chip Pound Cake

• I did this pound cake in the form of a bundt cake. You can certainly do it in a pound cake pan but you may have a bit extra— so bake 2 🙂
• Adding some sour cream to the batter really provides such great moisture to the cake and gives it that density we all for in a pound cake. It really helps the cake retain its moisture and not dry out as quickly. So don’t skip it!
• Allow your cake to cool for a few minutes before taking it out of the pan. The cake needs a few minutes to set so it doesn’t come out in pieces. I recommend running your knife around the edge to ensure the cake doesn’t stick and comes out in one piece.
• Don’t forget to grease your pan so the cake doesn’t stick to your pan. Make sure you grease it will all the way up the edges.
• Use a toothpick to check the cake, if it comes out clean, then the cake is done.
• You can use your favorite chocolate chips whether it is dark chocolate chips, milk chocolate, or white chocolate chips for this recipe.

HOW LONG DOES POUND CAKE KEEP?

This pound cake will last on the counter for 3-4 days sealed in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap. Putting it in the fridge will actually make it dry out faster so I don’t recommend doing this. However, you can freeze a pound cake. I recommend wrapping in plastic wrap, freezer paper, and tin foil. This cake is good in a freezer for up to 3 months.
