Decadent Chocolate Brown Sugar Pound Cake
- 2 1/4 cups cake flour (use cake flour only)
- 3/4 cup good-quality Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup butter, softened (no subs)
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened (no subs)
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon chocolate flavoring
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 6 large eggs, room temperature (leave out 30 minutes at room temperature before using)
- Do not preheat the oven.
- Butter and then flour a 12-cup bundt pan and shake out any excess flour.
- In a small bowl sift together cake flour cocoa powder and salt.
- In another small bowl stir together the baking soda and sour cream.
- In a large bowl with a heavy-duty electric mixer (I use my Kitchen Aid mixer) beat together 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter and both sugars (3 cups in all) until light and fluffy for a minimum of 10 minutes (no less than 10 minutes, this is important!).
- Beat in extracts and eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- With mixer at low speed, add in flour mixture and sour cream mixture alternately in batches, beating just until combined.
- Pour the batter into bundt pan and put it in the middle of a COLD oven.
- Set oven to 350u0b0F (if using a dark metal pan set oven to 325 degrees).
- Bake for 1 hour and 25 minutes, or until cake tests done (I loosely tented with foil the last 25 minutes of baking).
- Cool cake in pan on a rack for 15 minutes, then turn out on a rack to cool completely.
