Family Secret Chocolate Pound Cake

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup shortening
• 2-3/4 cups sugar
• 5 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup baking cocoa
• Whipped cream, optional

1. In a bowl, cream butter, shortening and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add milk and vanilla. Sift together dry ingredients; add gradually to creamed mixture, blending just until well mixed. Pour into a well-greased fluted tube pan. Bake at 350u0b0 for about 1 hour (toothpick will not come out clean when testing). Let stand 2-3 minutes before inverting onto a cake plate. Serve warm or cold with whipped cream if desired. Refrigerate leftovers.
