CHOCOLATE & CHOCOLATE-CHIP POUND CAKE

Another recipe I tweaked to suit the ingredients available on hand. I have great fun playing around with recipes...and always have eager testers on hand. The daughter is always the first one to check and grade a new experiment, with the son not far behind.
This one got a THUMBS UP!!!
Ingredients:
Butter- 1 cup or 200gms
Eggs - 4 (large)
Sugar - 1 cup, granular
Flour - 1 1/2 cups
Whole-wheat flour - 1/2 cup
Cocoa – ½ cup (dissolved in warm milk to form a paste
Baking powder - 1 tsp
Salt - 1 pinch
Chocolate chips - 1/2 cup
Vanilla Essence - 1 tsp

Method:

  • Grease and flour a 10" bundt pan.Preheat oven to 325deg/175deg
  • Sift tog flours + baking powder + salt
  • Cream butter and sugar
  • Beat in eggs 1 by 1, beating well after each addition.
  • Beat in vanilla essence.
  • On low speed, beat in the flour bit by bit in 3-4 lots.
  • Divide the batter into two halves.
  • On low, beat in the cocoa mixture into one half, and fold in the chocolate chips into the other half.
  • First put a layer of the chocolate batter and smoothen it out, followed by the vanilla-chocolate chip batter.
  • Bake for approx 1 hr till done. (If top seems to be getting too brown, loosely cover top with foil until done.)
  • Leave in pan for 10 mins to cool, and then turn it out on rack to cool completely.
