Gluten Free Mini Chocolate Chip Pound Cake

Yesterday we made this delicious mini chocolate chip pound cake.  It was always one of my favorite recipes when I was young.  I would literally beg my mom to make it!  Once we went gluten free, I set about creating a gluten free version of my childhood favorite.  I made this one with Guittard semisweet baking chips that I chopped up as the "mini chocolate chips" -- if  you can splurge on a premium baking chocolate, it makes a huge difference to the taste of the final product.  Another tip is to use smaller loaf pans than the traditional 9 x 5 loaf pan size; we use a 7 x 3.5 inch loaf pan.  This recipe is SO EASY to make and it will be popular with adults and children alike.  As always, when our recipes call for "GF Flour Blend," make sure you use the flour blend recipe for our cookbook: http://noexcusesglutenfreecookbook.blogspot.com/2012/10/gluten-free-flour-blend-recipe.html
