Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/3 cups whole wheat pastry flour (all-purpose OK)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup mini chocolate chip

  • Stir in sugar, applesauce, vanilla and salt.
  • Shake lightly and evenly across surface of batter, the flour and soda; mix just enough to incorporate.
  • Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts. Go easy on chocolate chips because they can overwhelm the cake.

CHOCOLATE CHIP POUND CAKE



Chocolate Chip Pound Cake image

Categories     Cake     Sauce     Chocolate     Bake

Yield makes 2 pound cakes

Number Of Ingredients 15

5 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1/3 cup mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
2 1/4 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Homemade Chocolate Sauce
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 325° F. Grease and flour two 9 x 5-inch loaf pans.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the unsweetened chocolate and 1 cup water. Place over medium-low heat and stir constantly until the chocolate is melted, about 2 minutes. Set aside to cool for 2 minutes, then whisk in the mascarpone until the mixture is smooth.
  • Beat the sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl for 30 seconds. Stir in the chocolate-mascarpone mixture. Whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder, and chocolate chips in a medium bowl. Add the dry ingredients and stir just until blended.
  • Divide the batter among the prepared pans and bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until a tester inserted into the center of each loaf comes out with no crumbs attached. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. (If you plan to freeze the cakes, wrap them well in aluminum foil once they are completely cool.)
  • To Make the Sauce
  • Place the chocolate chips in a small heat-proof bowl. Combine the heavy cream and vanilla extract in a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat until small bubbles appear at the edges of the pan. Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate chips. Stir with a fork until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
  • Drizzle the chocolate sauce over the pound cakes and refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes to set the chocolate sauce. Return to room temperature before serving.

Tips:

  • Measuring Ingredients Accurately: Use a kitchen scale to measure ingredients, especially for dry ingredients like flour, sugar, and cocoa powder, to ensure precise measurements and consistent results.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Bring ingredients like butter, eggs, and milk to room temperature before mixing. This helps them combine smoothly and evenly, resulting in a well-textured cake.
  • Creaming Butter and Sugar: Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This incorporates air into the mixture, creating a tender and airy cake crumb.
  • Mixing Dry and Wet Ingredients: Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with milk or other liquid. This prevents overmixing and helps maintain a smooth batter.
  • Folding in Chocolate Chips and Walnuts: Gently fold chocolate chips and walnuts into the batter until just combined. Overmixing can cause the chocolate chips to melt and lose their shape.
  • Baking at the Right Temperature: Bake the cake at the specified temperature in the recipe. Oven temperatures can vary, so use an oven thermometer to ensure accurate temperature.
  • Cooling the Cake: Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting or serving. This helps the cake set properly and prevents it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

The chocolate chip walnut pound cake is a classic dessert that combines the rich flavors of chocolate and walnuts with a moist and tender crumb. By following the tips and instructions in this recipe, you can create a delicious and satisfying cake that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're serving it as a special treat or enjoying it as a simple snack, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
