Chocolate Chip Pound Cake

 Tidbit:

Make an icing to top the pound cake before it cools by combining 3 tablespoons of hot, melted butter or margarine, with 1 cup of powdered sugar. Pour over pound cake while still hot and let cool with the cake.

With an abundance of chocolate chips and sour cream to keep it extra moist, this pound cake is a simple and foolproof dessert that you can get in the oven in only minutes (it takes a little big longer from there)! It's even better when you top it with the easy icing recipe ...
