CHOCOLATE POUND CAKE FROM SCRATCH RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, add sour cream, oil, eggs, water and mix until smooth.
• Add cake mix, pudding mix, and mix until just combined.
• Fold in chocolate chips.
• Pour batter in a greased and floured loaf pan (Dimensions: 9x5). You can also use 2 smaller loaf pans or even a 10-12 cup bundt pan. 
• Toss some more chocolate chips on top, if you like. 
• Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes or until an inserted toothpick in the center comes out clean. 
• Let it cool down and drizzle a glaze, if you like. Enjoy! 

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. 
• Add eggs and vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
• In another mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda.
• Dump the dry mixture into the wet mixture, while mixing and alternating with buttermilk until just combined. 
• Pour batter into 2 greased/ floured loaf pans (Dimensions: 8 x4). Spread it out evenly with a spatula.
• Bake at 325 degrees for 60-70 minutes or until an inserted toothpick in the center comes out clean. Don’t forget to rotate your pan halfway through baking. This ensures the cakes bake and brown evenly.
• Allow the cakes to cool down for 10 minutes. Then, remove them from the pans and let them cool completely on a cooling rack.
• Cover in saran wrap and chill in fridge overnight. This way, you will be able to slice perfect smooth slices the next day without any crumbs. Enjoy!
