The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 12 oz milk chocolate morsels
  • 2 tbs water

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 325F/160C. Spray a 10-cup tube pan with non-stick spray.

  • In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Beat in vanilla and the chocolate mixture. Combine the flour, salt and soda; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk.
