It is a mint julep, except instead of bourbon, cognac and sparkling wine are used. Put some ice in a towel and hit it with a hammer if you don’t have crushed ice on hand. Alternately, add some ice to a shaker and give it a good shake to break it.

I made it, using all the ingredients listed & following directions, but it didn’t come out exactly right. Maybe I forgot something; the chips sank to the bottom of the bundt pan. I chose this recipe because it is close to one my mom had; called “Chocolate Chip Snack Cake”.
I had to have done something wrong. It doesn’t look right at all. Tastes ok though. ???????
mouth watering i will make it again
Definitely a keeper, very good and easy. Coworkers requested recipe :). Only change used milk and semi sweet chocolate chips, rather then grating chocolate, turned out great.
This cake was very good. I made it for a work function and everyone loved it. It wasn’t a pound cake consistency, but that could be my fault as I used a smaller cake mix than what the recipe called for. I took the advice of another reviewer and added my chips to the dry ingredients before I added the wet ingredients and my chips did not sink to the bottom. I am definitely making this cake again.
I used a chocolate cake mix, I wanted to make cake pops. I was hoping for a more dense cake like a traditional bundt or pound cake but the first batch did not turn out dense, so I used the rest of the batter for cupkcakes.
Didn’t taste like pound cake but it was very good!
Absolutely brilliant! I made these for a group of kids that I babysit, a few of whom actually hate cake! After they tried this cake, they begged me to make more, and they ate about three a piece. I made them cupcakes rather than a full cake, by the way. The only problem with this recipe that I found, is that the batter is very sticky, even if it is fully cooked. I don’t know if that was an effect of cupcakes, rather than in a cake pan. Other than that, it was absolutely amazing, and I would definitely recommend making it.
My family absolutely loved this cake and couldn’t help sneaking back for seconds. I always use mini chips and added to dry ingredients so they didn’t sink. Making it again today for Sunday afternoon coffee and cake
Simple and DELICIOUS! I added vanilla glaze
We really enjoy this cake but to lower the fats, I used half oil and half applesauce and 1% milk. My mother made this cake often and I don’t see any difference in texture or taste. I also prefer to use mini chips and save a little of the shaved chocolate to sprinkle on top of the slightly cooled cake along with some powdered sugar.
This was really good,I just couldnt get the chips to stay off the bottom.
I decided to make this a peanut butter bundt cake. I used half super chunk peanut butter and half melted butter and used chocolate-peanut butter chips. Batter was really thick, I had to spread it even in the bundt pan. I did to cover it halfway through with foil to keep from burning. Super easy to put together.
It was pretty good. The outside came out pretty crusty, but the inside was still soft.
This was the best pound cake! Absolutely moist and tasting. My company truley enjoyed it as well. Thanks for sharing.
I made this cake for Easter 2009. My family really enjoyed this cake – even my little nephew who is a picky easter. Great recipe! Everyone should try this!
My kids (and mine) new favorite cake! I substituted soy milk to make it pareve and it came out perfectly. Made it in a bundt and sprinkled with powdered sugar and it looked pretty enough to serve some very happy guests. Sometimes…the simple pleasures in life are the best!
Everyone loves this dessert! It is easy to make and really really moist!
The whole family loved this as did all the kids at my son’s birthday party. Very easy and delicious!
I just made this cake and it is AWESOME!! I only had .5 cup of oil so I added .5 cup of melted butter. I found the batter to be a little too thick so I added a little more milk and Viola!! This cake is moist and delicious!!
mix 1 teaspoon of flour with the choc chips then add to batter to avoid them sinking to the bottom of the pan.
