- 7/8 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips

- 1/2 cup walnuts (shelled and toasted)

Useful Tools to Make the Pound Cake

- Bowl
- Spoon
- Small pot to melt the butter

- Parchment paper to line the pound cake pan
Preparation of the Pound Cake with Walnuts and Chocolate Chips
First, melt the butter and let it cool a bit.
In a bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar and water for a few minutes.
Add the melted butter, continuing to mix until you get a velvety mixture.
Now add the sifted flour (save 1 tablespoon to flour the chocolate chips and walnuts) and the sifted baking powder, and mix until you get a thick, lump-free batter (you’ll only need to mix for about 10 minutes).
Flour the chocolate chips and walnuts (previously toasted) and add them to the prepared batter, mixing from bottom to top until well combined.
Take a piece of parchment paper large enough to line the pan, wet it, and squeeze it (a trick to make it adhere well to the pan) and line the pan, pour in the batter leveling the surface with a spoon.
Bake in a preheated oven at 480°F and bake for 45/50 minutes, always do the toothpick test and check after the first 35 minutes because each oven is different from the other (I use a static oven).
Once cooked, let the pound cake cool, and when it’s cold, unmold, slice, and enjoy!
