Recipe: Chocolate Chip Pound Cake

Chocolate Chip Pound Cake

This recipe should be called double chocolate pound cake because it is chocolate pound cake with chocolate chips. It’s not necessarily southern but this is my grandmother’s recipe from at least 20 years ago. She’s originally from Apex, NC and lives in North Carolina so technically this is a NC recipe.
