Deep chocolate pound cake.
I had a craving for something sweet, actually it was more like a chocolate sweet tooth craving, the one that a piece of chocolate cannot fix and decided it was time I baked something new. Everyone in my family was thrilled to see me bake, the thought to have dessert for days…. or at least for a couple of days, brought huge smiles on their face.
This is a delicious variation from my regular pound cake, and the best part… half the butter. The honey adds all the sweetness needed, the extra chocolate chips are to satisfy my craving, the cranberries…. just for fun.
I used a small Bundt cake pan, however a regular 9 x 5 x 3 loaf pan will work as well. Fresh fruits, ice cream, whipping cream…. are just a couple of ways to enjoy it.
