Fudge Chip Pound Cake Recipe
Based on a recipe from Bon Appétit’s Homestyle Cooking “diminutive” cookbook series. I’ve had these dainty-sized cookbooks since my early college days when I first got into cooking! There’s nothing diminutive about this very nice loaf cake.

- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
- In heavy small saucepan, blend sugar and cocoa. Stir in water. Bring to simmer over medium-low heat, stirring until smooth. Gently simmer about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool.
