Chocolate Chip Pound Cake - butter

Method

• Preheat oven to 325F degrees.
• Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
• Combine the butter and cream cheese in a large mixing bowl.
• Beat until well blended.
• Add the sugar and beat until smooth and creamy.
• Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition (This is an important step because the eggs add the leavening to the cake).
• Add the flour, alternately with the milk, starting and ending with flour.
• Stir in chocolate chips.
• Pour into a prepared pan and bake for about 11/2 hours, or until a wooden toothpick comes out clean, when inserted near the center of the cake.
• Remove from pan immediately and turn upright onto a serving plate.
• Allow cake to cool before slicing.
