Print Recipe

A rich and tender pound cake featuring the moistness of sour cream and bursts of semi-sweet chocolate chips, perfect for any occasion and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240g) full-fat sour cream
  • 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan thoroughly with butter and lightly dust with flour or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
  4. Stir in sour cream and vanilla extract until just combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or folding gently until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips gently to distribute evenly.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Tap the pan lightly to release air bubbles.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, starting to check at 50 minutes by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

If the top browns too quickly, tent loosely with aluminum foil halfway through baking. Use room temperature eggs and sour cream for best texture. Toss chocolate chips in flour before folding to prevent sinking. Let cake cool in pan briefly before transferring to rack to avoid sogginess.
