Chocolate Chip Pound Cake

This recipe is great for tiered cakes... it came out thick and the chocolate chips added such a sweet touch!!

1 c softened butter
2 c sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
4 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
4 tsp baking powder
2 c sour cream
2 c chocolate chips

In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar... once creamy add the eggs one at a time.  Beat in vanilla, while combining dry ingredients in a separate bowl (flour, baking powder, baking soda).  Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the sour cream, beating throroughly before adding more.  Once everything is creamy smooth and well mixed, fold in the chocolate chips.  Fill two 9 inch round baking pans and bake approximately one hour or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.  Cool for 15 minutes and remove from pans. 

*I put a layer of milk chocolate frosting all over the cake and in between the layers before adding a layer of fondant to make the clean lines.  It added a nice sweet touch.
