cinnamon chocolate chip pound cake

It began with a recipe for vanilla pound cake...


and then I couldn't help but add some cinnamon...


and then some chocolate chips....because what are Christmas baked goods without chocolate?



and somewhere along the way my vanilla pound cake batter became cinnamon chocolate chip pound cake.
and all of the chocolate chips sunk to the bottom and formed a delicious chocolate crust.


and the pound cake became Christmas gifts for our fellow GBGM staff members here in UB.

thank you Christmas for being the perfect excuse to bake all sorts of delicious things.
