Everybody ought to have a rich Chocolate Pound Cake in their formula record, ideally front and center — this dim chocolate cake is finished with a velvety chocolate ganache.
An iced chocolate pound cake is just as tasty as a layer cake, however such a great amount of simpler to put together, and by one way or another it feels somewhat less debauched, as well (I don't know that is valid, but rather I'm running with it.) A stand blender makes this a joy to prepare. While it's creaming the spread and sugar, I shower and line my portion skillet, whisk together the dry fixings, and blend the wet. I should simply break in the eggs, and after that shift back and forth between the dry and wet to make an excellent player.
The chocolate pound cake has a pleasant rich fulfilling chocolate flavor, and it cuts like spread!

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (i stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp espresso powder
wet ingredients
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup milk
dry ingredients
- 1 cup plus 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
ganache topping
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 6 ounces dark chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)
Instructions
- Set oven to 325F
- Spray a standard 9x5 loaf pan and line it with a sheet of parchment paper, leaving the ends to hang long. This way you can lift the frosted cake out for cleaner cutting.
- Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla and espresso powder.
- Whisk together the sour cream and milk.
- Sift together the dry ingredients.
- Add the dry ingredients to the bowl alternately with the wet, beginning and ending with dry. Blend only until mixed, don't over beat.
- Turn the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread out evenly. Bake for about 45-50 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out without wet batter clinging to it. Check your cake on the early side to avoid over-cooking. Set aside to cool.
- To make the ganache topping, heat the cream to a simmer and remove from heat. Add the chocolate and let sit for a minute, then stir until everything is melted and glossy. Pour over the cooled cake and then let the ganache firm up in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
- If you have used a parchment paper 'sling', gently pull the cake out of the pan to slice it.
