Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 4 units Large eggs
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
Step 3
Add the peanut butter to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well combined.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined to avoid overworking the batter.
Step 7
Stir in the vanilla extract and fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula.
Step 8
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 70-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 10
Allow the pound cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Slice and serve as is, or pair with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of melted chocolate for an extra-special touch.
