RICK'S CHOCOLATE POUND CAKE



Rick's Chocolate Pound Cake image

I named this after my husband because this is my husband's favorite chocolate dessert. He always lends a hand to help make it, which makes the task easier. It does take a few minutes to put all the ingredients together, but well worth the time! My mom always made great cakes by following the directions as posted in this recipe. Spend the extra time mixing the ingredients and use room temp butter, milk, eggs, etc. for the best cakes.

Categories     Cakes

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 pound(s) butter, room temperature (use real, unsalted)
1/2 cup(s) crisco
3 cup(s) sugar
5 - eggs, room temperature
3 cup(s) flour (before sifting)
1/2 teaspoon(s) baking powder
1 cup(s) milk (always use whole milk, let set to room temp.)
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla
1 pound(s) can of chocolate syrup

Steps:

  • Cream shortening, butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs one-at-a-time, beating after each one is added.
  • Sift together the flour and baking powder and add to wet ingredients alternating with the milk.
  • Add vanilla after flour is thoroughly mixed in as the alcohol in flavoring will lump flour.
  • Add the entire large can of chocolate syrup. Mix into other ingredients. Spend a little extra time on this final step to incorporate all the ingredients very well.
  • Put into large tube pan which has been greased and floured.
  • Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
  • Icing: 1 8 0z. pack of cream cheese, 1/2 cup butter, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, 4 tablespoons (or more) milk, 1 box of powered sugar, 1/2 cup cocoa. Mix all ingredients well. Ice cooled cake.

Tips:

  • Use the right ingredients: Make sure you use high-quality chocolate, butter, and eggs. This will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your cake.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the cake, making it lighter and more tender.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the cake from curdling.
  • Sift the flour before adding it to the batter: This will help to prevent lumps and ensure that the cake is smooth and evenly textured.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the cake cooks evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
