MOM'S CHOCOLATE POUND CAKE
This was one of my favorite things to make when I learned to bake. My mom made this when we were little and it was a real treat to have this as a decadent coffee cake. This is good without any topping, but I have tried a variety of things on the top: melted chocolate frosting, powdered sugar or glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- For the cake: Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch cake pan with butter. Combine the flour, sugar and baking soda in the bowl of a stand mixer or mixing bowl. Combine the butter, cocoa and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil while mixing. Add the cocoa mixture to the flour mixture, along with the buttermilk eggs and vanilla, and beat for 3 minutes. Pour into the prepared cake pan and bake until firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes in the pan before turning out on a rack to cool completely.
- For the frosting: Make the frosting as soon as the cake is out of the oven. Combine the butter, buttermilk and cocoa in a small saucepan and bring to a boil while mixing. Combine with the confectioners' sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat until smooth. Spread the frosting evenly on the cake.
MOIST CHOCOLATE POUND CAKE
This rich, supremely chocolatey, moist pound cake is so simple and yet so impressive, especially when frosted with my Salted Caramel Frosting, which perfectly complements the dense sweetness of the cake. If you have any leftovers, don't refrigerate, just leave tightly covered at room temperature.

Steps:
- I think you could use store-bought chocolate syrup in this recipe, but the syrup made in the original recipe is not as thick, so store-bought might change the outcome of the cake.
- Place the ingredients for the chocolate syrup in a saucepan on the stove and cook over medium high until it reaches a syrupy consistency. Pour into a chilled bowl and place in fridge to cool quickly.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a tube pan with removable bottom. Mine has a fairly large center hole of about 4 inches.
- Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each.
- Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Pour milk into the measuring cup and add vanilla.
- Add the dry ingredients and the milk to the cake a little at a time, alternating between the two.
- Stir the baking soda into the chocolate syrup.
- Pour 2/3 of the batter into the prepared tube pan, smoothing out the top.
- Mix the syrup into the remaining batter and spread this batter on top of the other batter, again smoothing the top.
- Bake for 45 minutes. Then place aluminum foil over the pan and bake an additional 20-25 more minutes or until done.
- We usually serve this cake without frosting, but for birthdays, I would add my Italian Chocolate Frosting.
- When sliced, the chocolate should have moved down to form a circle in the middle of the cake that the kids say looks like a person's head and shoulders. They get a kick out of the slightly different shape each time the cake is baked.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best results. This means using real butter, not margarine, and good-quality cocoa powder.
- Make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them to combine more evenly and create a smoother batter.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to a tough, dense cake.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
This chocolate pound cake is a classic recipe that is sure to please everyone. It is moist, chocolatey, and has a tender crumb. With a few simple tips, you can make this cake at home and enjoy it with your family and friends.
