Chocolate Chip Cherry Pound Cake (as good as it sounds!)

What could be better than chocolate and cherries? A chocolate chip cherry pound cake, of course! ;) Perfect for Valentine’s Day!

This Chocolate Chip Cherry Pound Cake is amazing.

Dense, buttery and flavorful!
The cherries add just the right flavor and the mini chocolate chips add just a hint of chocolate without being overwhelming.
It sort of ends up tasting like a decadent chocolate covered cherry. (but less sweet…and less chocolatey…and less cherryish ;), just a hint, which is perfect!)

Chop the cherries into quarters.

Then toss them with a bit of flour to coat them. This makes it easier to mix into your batter.

Then start mixing your butter, sugar, flour, etc.

I use my KitchenAid mixer for things like this.

Then gently mix in the chocolate chips….

And finally, gently stir in (by hand) the cherries pieces.

Pour into a bundt pan….

…..and smooth out the top. (doesn’t that look yummy?)

And check out my brand new bundt pan!

Blush Pink….so sweet. It’s a very well made pan and so pretty. I just love it!
You can find it >>> here.

Bake and eat…..the whole thing!! Just kidding, be careful, you’ll want to. ;)

Isn’t that pretty?
It came out of that bundt pan like a champ, too!

Want to know my favorite part of the chocolate chip cherry pound cake? Or any pound cake, for that matter.

The top!

The top that’s always hidden on the bottom.

I just adore that slight crunch and extra dense portion right below.
YUM

SO good.

Like I said, it came out of the pan like a champ.
My old pan gave me issues so this was SO nice for a change!

I added a little buttermilk glaze to give the chocolate chip cherry pound cake another little pop of cherry flavor. (well, almond, which sort of tastes like cherry ;) )

I could eat a slice or two at one sitting. ;)
Who am I kidding? I could eat more than that, but I try not to!
Nope, this one got cut into sections and given away or it’d been trouble around here. ;)

Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Maybe make it for your Valentine so he/she can enjoy it too!
