How to Make Sour Cream Chocolate Chip Pound Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes).
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped nuts (optional).
  7. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking for doneness around 45 minutes.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
