Chocolate Pound Cake

I’ve wanted to share with you this Chocolate Pound Cake recipe. I recently discovered it and love its texture. It is buttery and dense, with a moist crumb, and a great chocolate flavor. This recipe doesn’t use too much chocolate and uses more cocoa powder instead.

Right after baking the cake is glazed with a chocolate, butter and cocoa glaze which has a great flavor and dark color.

The recipe for this chocolate pound cake is easy and can be prepared quite quickly. It is really important to use good quality cocoa powder as its flavor affects the taste of the pound cake.

How to make chocolate pound cake

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare two 9×5-inch (23x13cm) loaf pans by greasing them and lining them with parchment paper.

In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the sugar, cocoa powder, and milk, stirring until well combined. Bring the mixture to a boil for 1 minute, then remove it from the heat.

For the chocolate glaze, place the chocolate pieces into a small bowl and add about 1 cup (220g) of the hot cocoa syrup. Stir until the chocolate is melted, then set the glaze aside until ready to use.

While the cocoa syrup cools down slightly, separate the egg whites from the yolks. Whip the egg whites until foamy and stiff peaks form. Gradually incorporate the egg yolks one at a time.

Next, add the flour, salt, and baking powder to the cocoa syrup mixture, stirring until well combined. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the mixture until fully incorporated.

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.

Once baked, pour the reserved chocolate glaze over the top of the cakes and decorate with nuts if desired. Allow the cakes to cool completely before serving.
