While this chocolate pound cake deviates from tradition slightly, it keeps those simple ingredients, plus a few other important ones to make it extra chocolatey. I\u2019ve included my notes below.<strong> Scroll to the printable recipe card for the full list and recipe amounts.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cocoa Powder <\/strong>\u2013\u00a0I prefer to use Dutch-processed cocoa powder in this pound cake, as it\u2019s fudgier and less bitter than natural cocoa (learn more about the <a href=\"https:\/\/beyondfrosting.com\/natural-cocoa-powder-vs-dutch-processed\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\">different types of cocoa powder<\/a>). It also gives this cake a darker color. That being said, you can substitute natural unsweetened cocoa powder in a pinch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Espresso Powder<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0Like my classic <a href=\"https:\/\/beyondfrosting.com\/super-moist-chocolate-cake\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\">chocolate cake<\/a> recipe, a small amount of espresso powder helps to enhance the flavor of this chocolate pound cake (without making it taste like coffee). It\u2019s optional, but recommended!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Butter<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0I use unsalted butter. Take the butter out of the fridge 30 minutes ahead of time to let it come to room temperature.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Milk and Eggs<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0These should also be at room temperature. You can use whole milk, 2%, or any kind you prefer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ganache<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0I make a quick pourable <a href=\"https:\/\/beyondfrosting.com\/how-to-make-chocolate-ganache\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\">chocolate ganache<\/a> to glaze the cake. It\u2019s easy to make by melting equal parts chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate) with heavy cream. I like semisweet chocolate for a richer flavor, but dark or milk chocolate also works here.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"This chocolate pound cake is soft and dense, covered in rich and silky chocolate ganache.

Cold ingredients can curdle the batter. If you forget to take your ingredients out ahead of time, microwave the milk and butter for a few seconds, and let the eggs rest in a bowl of warm water to help them warm up faster.<!-- \/wp:post-content --> <!-- wp:paragraph --><\/li>\n<li><strong>Grease and flour the cake pan. <\/strong>This ensures the pound cake is released easily from the pan. Grease the bundt pan well with Crisco shortening and dust it with equal parts cocoa powder and flour. Another option is to make a homemade pan release by mixing equal parts oil, vegetable shortening, and flour. Brush the mixture liberally over the inside of the bundt pan, getting all the nooks and crannies well coated.<!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --><\/li>\n<li><strong>Baking times can vary.<\/strong> A pound cake bakes differently depending on your oven and the type of pan you\u2019re using. I recommend checking the cake at the earliest suggested baking time and going from there. Stick a toothpick into the center of the cake, and if it comes out clean, it\u2019s done.<\/li>\n<li><strong>If you\u2019d prefer to skip the glaze,<\/strong> you can dust the top of the pound cake with powdered sugar instead, but the glaze really brings it all together.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1804\" data-pin-description=\"This chocolate pound cake is soft and dense, covered in rich and silky chocolate ganache.

Allow the butter, eggs, and milk to come to room temperature.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-2\">In a medium bowl whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, espresso powder, and salt to a medium bowl, and whisk together. Set aside.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-3\">Cream together the butter and sugar for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy. A stand mixer is recommended, but you can also use a hand mixer.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-4\">Slowly add eggs 1 at a time and make sure each one is well mixed before adding the next egg. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl after the third egg. Mix in the vanilla extract.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-5\">With the mixer set to low, add half of the dry ingredients and mix until combined followed by half of the milk, and mix just until combined, repeat with the remaining dry ingredients and milk. Continue mixing until all ingredients are just combined, making sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure even mixing.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-6\">Bake at 325\u00b0 for 55-65 minutes. Check to see if your cake is done by inserting a toothpick into the middle. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. Baking times may vary by oven and type of pan. Allow the cake to cool for at least 30 minutes before attempting to remove it from the pan.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-7\">Gently run a knife around the outside and inside edge of the cake to release, and flip it out onto a cooling rack. Finish cooling on a wire rack.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-8\">When the cake has cooled, make the glaze; place the chocolate chips in a medium bowl. Microwave the cream until it is just starting to simmer, but do not boil it, about 1-1 \u00bd minutes. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips, place a plate on top, and let it sit for 1-2 minutes. Then use a whisk to stir it together. It may take a few minutes, just keep stirring. Once it comes together let it sit for about 10-15 minutes to thicken. Pour over the top of the cake, letting it ooze over the sides. Let the ganache glaze firm up, for about 2 hours at room temperature or 1 hour in the fridge before serving.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t<hr data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"secondary-color.border-color secondary-color.background-color\"\/>\n\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\n\t\t\t<hr data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"secondary-color.border-color secondary-color.background-color\"\/>\n\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes\">\n\t\t\t<h3 data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"h3-color.color h3-transform.text-transform\">Notes<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes-body\" style=\"color: #000000 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">\n\t\t\t\t<ul>\n<li><strong>Storage:<\/strong> Leftover cake can be stored covered at room temperature for up to 4 days. Cake can be stored tightly covered in the fridge, but will become dry faster.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dutch-processed cocoa<\/strong> is preferred for baking as it is less bitter than natural cocoa and will give the cake a darker chocolate color. Natural cocoa can be used if you can\u2019t find Dutch cocoa.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chocolate: <\/strong>You can use 6 ounces of chopped chocolate bars in place of the chocolate chips for the glaze. bittersweet, dark, or milk chocolate will all work, but for a rich flavor ganache, I like to use the semi-sweet.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make sure all of the ingredients are at room temperature<\/strong> before beginning. If you add an ingredient that is too cold it could curdle the batter. You can speed up this process by lightly microwaving the milk and setting the eggs into a large bowl of hot water to warm up faster.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Greasing and flouring the cake pan<\/strong> is very important to ensure the cake comes out of the pan with ease. I recommend greasing the pan with Crisco shortening and then dusting it with a combination of equal parts flour and cocoa powder. You can also make a homemade pan release that will keep this from occurring.
