Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups cake flour (not self-rising)
1 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
4 sticks (2 cups) unsalted butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
8 large eggs
2 tablespoons instant espresso powder dissolved in 1/4 cup warm water
confectioners' sugar for sifting over cake if desired

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour a 3-quart bundt pan, knocking out excess flour. (Alternatively, use two 1-quart bundt pans and 2 pint-size loaf pans, 6 by 3 by 2 inches.)
  • Into a bowl sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
  • In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat together butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla and add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. With mixer on low speed, beat in flour mixture gradually until just combined. Beat in espresso mixture and pour batter into prepared pan(s).
  • Bake cake in 3-quart pan in middle of oven until a tester comes out clean, about 1 hour 20 minutes. (Alternatively, bake cakes in 1-quart pans and loaf pans 40 minutes.) Cool cake in pan(s) on a rack 10 minutes and turn out onto rack to cool completely.
  • Pound cake keeps, wrapped well in plastic, 1 week.
  • Just before serving, sift confectioners' sugar evenly over cake.

I'm not a fan of chocolate, but this cake was surprisingly delicious. The chocolate flavor was rich and decadent, but not overpowering.

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and crumbly, and the chocolate flavor was weak.
