Method

For the Chocolate Chip Pound Cake

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  3. 3

    Add Chocolate Chips

    Fold in the chocolate chips gently until evenly distributed.

  4. 4

    Bake the Cake

    Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the Raspberry Mascarpone

  1. 5

    Prepare the Mascarpone Mix

    In a medium bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, fresh raspberries, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using a fork or a whisk, gently mash the raspberries into the mascarpone until well mixed but slightly chunky.

For Griddling

  1. 6

    Griddle the Pound Cake

    Slice the cooled pound cake into thick slices. Heat the unsalted butter in a griddle pan over medium heat. Add the slices of pound cake and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and slightly crispy.
