Simple to make with only three ingredients with a variety of uses. Great to use over Bundt cake because it sets up nicely.

Time 1h

Yield 12 servings

1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened Dutch Process (alkalized) cocoa
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Position rack in lower third of the oven. On low speed with an electric mixer, mix the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly combined.
  • Add the softened butter, whole egg, and egg whites. Set a timer for 2 minutes as you begin beating on medium speed.

6 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate, melted

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the cake batter mix more evenly and produce a smoother, more consistent cake.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy: This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Fold in the dry ingredients gently: Overmixing can toughen the cake.
  • Bake the cake at the correct temperature: A too-high oven temperature can cause the cake to brown too quickly on the outside while remaining uncooked on the inside. A too-low oven temperature can result in a dense, gummy cake.
  • Test the cake for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. If it comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake longer.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Chocolate glazed pound cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste.
