Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese , softened
  • cup unsalted butter , softened
  • cups granulated sugar
  • 6 eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease two 9-inch loaf pans or a 10- to 12-cup bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer with fitted paddle attachment until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. This is important in order to achieve that fluffy and dense texture, so make sure to beat well and that no lumps remain.
  • Add in sugar, ½ cup at a time, until fully incorporated. Add in eggs, two at a time, followed by the vanilla, and beat until combined. Add in flour and beat until smooth. Gently fold in chocolate chips.
  • Pour mixture into prepared pan(s). Bake for 1 hour and 10-40 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into middle comes out mostly clean (a few crumbs is ok, as you don't want to overbake cake). If top of pound cake starts to brown too quickly, loosely cover with aluminum foil to preventing burning.
  • Let cool for 15 minutes in pan, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely or invert onto a large plate (if using a bundt pan).

Notes

  • This pound cake takes a while to bake. Oven times vary, so keep an eye on cake so it doesn't burn.
