chocolate pound cake

This easy chocolate pound cake recipe is full of rich chocolate flavors, perfectly moist, and simply delicious.

Chocolate Pound Cake

(120 grams) all-purpose flour

¾ cup (65 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder

baking powder

salt

(80 ml) buttermilk*

instant coffee granules**

unsalted

(200 grams) granulated sugar

eggs,

vanilla extract (optional)

Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Lightly grease a 9 x 5” (23&#215;13 cm) loaf pan. Line the long and short sides with parchment paper, allowing the ends to hang over for easy removal of the loaf after baking.

Before you start, dissolve the coffee granules with 1 teaspoon boiling water, and prepare the buttermilk as instructed*.

Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl. Sift a second time. Set aside.

Add butter to the bowl of a standing mixer (or in a large bowl using a hand mixer) and beat on medium speed for 3-4 minutes, until creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. Gradually add sugar to the butter and mix for 4-5 minutes until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides.

Add the eggs, one at a time mixing until combined before adding the next one. Pour in the coffee, buttermilk, vanilla, and mix until combined.

Turn down the mixer speed to low and add the dry ingredients, one third at a time. Mix until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, using the parchment paper, lift the cake out of the pan and place on a rack to cool completely.

This Chocolate Pound Cake is one you will make over and over again. Easy to make and delicious!

cocoa

all purpose flour

tsp baking powder

tsp baking soda

espresso powder coffee powder

unsalted butter, softened

sour cream

milk, I used whole milk

sugar

eggs, room temperature

tsp vanilla extract

chocolate

Preheat oven to 325 degrees, spray a loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside. 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! 

Decadent chocolate pound cake is perfect for any occasion—and it&#039;s easy too! This chocolate cake is big enough to serve 12 so everyone will get a slice.

½ cups butter, softened

brown sugar

Tablespoon vanilla extract

flour

cocoa powder

coffee

Preheat

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.

Cream

Cream the butter, sugar and brown sugar together in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat until the mix is very light and fluffy.

Add the eggs to the butter mix, adding them one at a time and scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition. You want to be sure all the eggs and butter are blended together evenly.

Add the vanilla to the bowl and mix again.

In a separate medium sized bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.

Combine

In a separate small bowl, combine the buttermilk and brewed coffee.

Add about ⅓ of the flour mix to the bowl of the stand mixer and mix it into the egg and butter. Then, add about ½ of the buttermilk mix and mix again. Continue to alternate between adding the dries and the wet ingredients to the bowl until everything is combined and the chocolate batter is nice and smooth.

Bake

Pour the batter into the greased bundt pan then bake the cake for 60 minutes. Check to make sure the cake is fully baked by sticking a toothpick in the center of the cake. It should have no sticky batter on it when it comes out.

Cool

Let the pound cake cool in the cake pan for at least 30 minutes. Then, flip the cake out of the pan and on to a plate. Slice and enjoy!
