This is a very nice cake, great with ice cream while it's still warm. I didn't want to make a trip to the store, so I used sour cream instead of buttermilk and I only had 1/2 cup of shortening, so I used it and added 1/2 cup of butter. It turned out great. Maybe I cooked it a little too long, 1 1/2 hours was a bit much for my oven, but the recipe will work great when I use it again with a shorter cooking time.

Was ok, but all the chocolate chips fell to the bottom of the cake.

I really liked this cake. I was looking for something to make to use up the buttermilk I had and tried this. I made it for supper when my extended family was comming over. I did not find it dry at all as other reviewers had stated. I even made it the night before. I kept it in my cake caddy and it was still nice and moist when I was ready to serve it. I heated it up and served it with vanilla ice cream. It was really yummy. My sister asked for the recipe because her boyfriend liked it so much. I think that next time I make it I may try pouring a chocolate glaze of some kind over it or making cupcakes with it. I will be making this again really soon.

Made it twice, the first time as written. Yuck-- why tolerate the health hazards of hydrogenated fats? Second time, made it with butter (as pound cakes were originally made) and of course skipped the butter flavoring. Ahhh... much better! So one star as written, but 4 stars with my alteration.

I cut this recipe in half to try it out. The cake fell after I removed it from the oven, but was still very tasty. I used butter-flavored shortening since I didn't have the butter flavoring. It was very moist and tasty. My husband gave this two thumbs up.

Great cake! I used chocolate chips and when served warm, it tastes excellent. As it aged, the cake staled a bit but when fresh it was perfect! Plan to make again.
