CHOCOLATE-HAZELNUT FILLED POUND CAKE RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Chocolate-Hazelnut Filled Pound Cake Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by cecelia26_

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (10.75 ounces) package Sara Lee® Frozen Pound Cake
1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread divided
1/2 (5.3 ounces) container frozen chocolate whipped topping frosting thawed
shaved chocolate optional

Steps:

  • 1.Slice pound cake horizontally into 3 layers. 2.Spread bottom layer with 1/4 cup chocolate hazelnut spread. Top with second layer. Spread with remaining 1/4 cup chocolate hazelnut spread. Top with remaining cake layer. 3.Frost entire cake with thawed chocolate whipped topping frosting. Sprinkle top with shaved chocolate, if desired. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Chocolate: Use good quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%. This will ensure a rich and intense chocolate flavor in the cake and glaze.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure all ingredients, especially the eggs and butter, are at room temperature before starting. This allows them to combine smoothly and evenly, resulting in a well-textured cake.
  • Properly Measuring Ingredients: Use accurate measuring cups and spoons to ensure the correct proportions of ingredients. This is crucial for achieving the desired consistency and flavor of the cake.
  • Creaming Butter and Sugar: Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This incorporates air into the mixture, creating a tender and moist cake.
  • Folding in Dry Ingredients: Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with milk. This prevents overmixing and ensures a smooth and even batter.
  • Baking Time and Temperature: Bake the cake at the specified temperature and for the recommended time, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the cake, so it's important to check it regularly.
  • Cooling the Cake: Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing. This helps the glaze set properly and prevents it from becoming runny.
  • Preparing the Glaze: Make sure the chocolate and cream are hot enough to melt smoothly when combined. Stir continuously until the glaze is glossy and well combined.
  • Glazing the Cake: Pour the glaze over the cooled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. If desired, you can use a spoon to spread the glaze evenly over the surface.

Conclusion:

With careful attention to detail and following these tips, you can create an incredibly delicious and visually stunning chocolate hazelnut pound cake with shiny chocolate glaze. This cake is perfect for special occasions, potlucks, or simply as a sweet treat to enjoy with friends and family.
