Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature 113g
  • 1 cup sugar, 200g
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs, large
  • 1 ⅓ cup flour, 160g + 1 tsp, separated
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tbsp vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup buttermilk
  • 6 oz mini chocolate chips
  • Powdered sugar for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Heavily spray a loaf pan with baking spray.
  • In the bowl of a hand or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment add the 1/2 cup butter and 1 cup sugar and mix on low-medium speed for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • A mixture of butter, sugar, and eggs mixed together in a bowl.
    Add the 2 tbsp vegetable oil and mix again until combined. Add the eggs one at a time on medium speed, mixing in between.
  • In a separate bowl combine the 1 1/3 cup flour, ½ tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp baking soda, and ¼ tsp kosher salt and mix lightly.
  • In a measuring cup add the ⅓ cup buttermilk and ½ tbsp vanilla extract.
  • Chocolate chip pound cake batter.
    Alternate adding the dry and wet ingredients by thirds starting and ending with the dry ingredients.
  • Combine the chocolate chips with the extra 1 tsp flour in a small bowl and mix to coat well. Pour the chocolate chips into the batter and mix to combine.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until the cake is set and the sides are pulling away from the pan.
  • Cool for 15-20 minutes, then flip the cake over a cooling rack to release and cool completely.

Notes

Bake this cake in a standard size loaf pan and check after 50 minutes if it is done by inserting a skewer into the center. If the skewer comes out mostly clean with a slight crumb, it is done.
