Million Calorie Chocolate Chip Pound Cake
1 lb. softened sweet butter
3 cups sugar
6 large eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons homemade vanilla or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 lb bittersweet chocolate chips
-
Preheat your oven to 300 degrees.
-
Grease a 10 inch tube pan and lightly flour. I also suggest that you line the bottom with parchment paper and have it come up the side an inch or so, as some batter leaked from the bottom.
-
In a large mixing bowl by hand or with a beater, cream the butter and sugar till light and fluffy.
-
Then add 1 egg at a time, beating well till incorporated.
-
Alternating add the flour and milk stirring by hand with a wooden spoon.
-
Add the extracts and combine the cake batter till well blended.
-
Fold in the chocolate chips till incorporated evenly in the cake batter.
-
Carefully add the batter to the tube pan, smoothing the top to make sure it is even.
-
Bake till a tester comes out clean anywhere from 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
-
Cool the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes then turn it out onto the rack to cool.
