Mexican Chocolate Pound Cake image

I love pound cake! So velvety and buttery! And this Mexican version just takes it to a whole new level! I like it served with just whipped cream on top, but you can have it plain or with ice cream, too, if prefered! Enjoy! Ole! (Photo by me)

I'm not a fan of chocolate cake, but this one was really good. The ganache was the best part.

I substituted the chocolate ganache for a chocolate buttercream frosting. It was delicious!

The cake was dense and dry. I would not recommend this recipe.
