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....

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 lb butter, room temperature (use real, unsalted)
1/2 c crisco
3 c sugar
5 eggs, room temperature
3 c flour (before sifting)
1/2 tsp baking powder

  • 2. Add eggs one-at-a-time, beating after each one is added.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This cake is a bit denser than some other pound cakes, but I like that. It gives it a more substantial texture.
