Rich Chocolate Pound Cake
Classic pound cake gets a chocolate boost in this rich dessert that's finished with a decorative drizzle of melted chocolate.
Recipe Ingredients:
1 (12-ounce) package NESTLÉ TOLL HOUSE Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels - divided use
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups packed light brown sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup milk
Cooking Directions:
