Chocolate Pound Cake
- 2 cups Granulated Sugar
- 1 cup Butter
- 4 whole Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla
- 4 ounces, weight Baker's German Sweet Chocolate, Melted
- 3 cups All-purpose Flour
- 1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream together the sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla and melted chocolate; blend thoroughly. Sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Add dry ingredients alternately with buttermilk to creamed mixture. Pour batter into a lightly greased and floured 10-inch tube pan, or Bundt pan. Bake for 1 1/2 hours or until cake tests done. When cake is done, let stand in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and cover loosely with foil until completely cool.
- Kitchen Kimberley's tips: I like to serve this during the holidays on a footed cake stand embellished with a sparkly bow made of wire-edged ribbon. Add a few tiny ornaments to dress it up even further, and let the tasting begin! If desired, dust cooled cake lightly with powdered sugar for a 'snowy' look.
