Using a hand held or stand mixer, mix the butter and sugar together until fluffy, add in eggs one at a time. Mix together the milk, vanilla and sour cream in a measuring cup. Mix together the dry ingredients except the cocoa powder. Slowly add some of the milk mixture and then the dry mixture until all is incorporated. Stop the mixer and finish by mixing by hand with a rubber spatula. Now, add in the cocoa powder. Mix again. Take a spatula and make sure you dig down to incorporate any leftover flour mixture. Pour into the prepared loaf pan. Spread out evenly. Bake for about 42 to 50 minutes. Check after 42 minutes. The cake should spring back when touched lightly on top and a toothpick should come out with moist to dry crumbs. Try not to over bake the loaf. Let cool for at least 20 to 30 minutes. Slice up this baby up!

Chocolate Sour Cream Pound Cake

g all-purpose flour

cocoa powder

g black cocoa powder

espresso powder (optional)

tsp kosher salt

unsalted butter (room temp)

eggs (room temp)

vanilla paste

sour cream (room temp)

heavy cream

semi-sweet chocolate

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powders, espresso powder, baking powder, and salt. 

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar together for 2-3 minutes until light &amp; fluffy.

Add the vanilla and one egg at a time, mixing to fully incorporate each one before adding the next. 

Scrape down the bowl, add mix in half of the dry ingredients on low speed. Mix in the sour cream until mostly combined. Then, add the rest of the dry ingredients until everything is fully combined. Do not over-mix. 

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and tap the pan on the counter a few times to release air bubbles. 

Bake the pound cake for about 1 hour 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Transfer to a wire rack and allow the pound cake to cool completely.

For the chocolate sour cream pound cake:

In a small saucepan, bring the heavy cream to a simmer or about 190 degrees F. Once simmering, remove from heat and add the chocolate. Use a small rubber spatula or spoon to gently stir until the chocolate has melted and the ganache is homogeneous.

Pour the ganache over the cooled pound cake, then slice and enjoy!

For the chocolate glaze:

The pound cake turned out rich, chocolatey and dense, sooo delicious especially with the chocolate glaze. Perfect with icecream or whipped cream.

The moist chocolate bread is rich and decadent, with a velvety texture that melts in your mouth and a deep, intense chocolate flavor.
