Pecan-Chocolate Chip Pound Cake RecipePhoto by: Taste of Home Pecan-Chocolate Chip Pound Cake Recipe Rating 5

This cake's one I prepare frequently for Sunday dinner. I also make it for church meetings and to take to friends who are sick. It goes a long way—unless you have some real "chocoholics"! I've been cooking as long as I've been married, for almost 30 years. My husband's the director of a Christian youth missionary organization, and our two children are 19 and 17.
