Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 10-inch (25 cm) bundt pan, ensuring even coverage.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This may take about 2 minutes using an electric mixer. Add the eggs, milk and vanilla extract, and mix thoroughly.
-
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on it to avoid overbaking.
-
Allow the chocolate pound cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, you can opt to glaze the cake with a chocolate ganache or simply dust it with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.
-
Slice the chocolate pound cake, serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and savor the rich, chocolatey goodness!
