Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 4 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 1 cup Pecans (chopped)
• 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a standard 10-inch bundt or tube pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 4

Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the chopped pecans and chocolate chips gently using a spatula.

Step 8

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt or tube pan, smoothing the surface with the back of a spoon.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 70-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 10

Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Slice and serve as is, or garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for extra indulgence. Enjoy!
