This was very good. My cake was moist and perfect. I made the post-obit changes though: I didn't have enough sugar, so I subbed two c Splenda and 1 c brown carbohydrate. Besides, the block was washed in 1 hr, 15 min. Adding 15 more than minutes to the cake would take made it too dry out I think-- only watch in your oven the kickoff time. I frosted it with some melted chocolate chips that I thinned with a bit of evaporated milk. Next fourth dimension, I think I will stir the cocoa in with the flour-- it might be a scrap easier to combine with the batter then stirring it in the final minute. Might try some differant excerpt flavors instead of the vanilla-- orange, raspberry, or almond would all exist good.

I used this recipe to make a friend's wedding ceremony cake, and it was a hitting!! A delicious moist cake with just the right density. I left out the cocoa and added lemon excerpt to make a white layer besides, and have been asked to supply i for a party! Cheers for sharing.

Wonderful chocolate pound cake, my family really enjoyed it in a bundt cake course with chocolate frosting drizzled over information technology. The block was moist and delicious. Thanks for the recipe.

This is the closest recipe I have ever found to my husband's grandmothers! He said it taste but like hers, which is a huge compliment! I've been trying to go her to teach me how to make it before the recipe is lost forever, but she'southward one of those cooks who doesn't measure anything, and so it is really hard to pin down the bodily measurements. Thank you then much for submitting this recipe. I tried mixing together the powdered sugar, cocoa and heavy cream like someone suggested and information technology turned into whipped cream instead. (I guess I stirred it a little too much!) But this block does not need annihilation!! Cheers once more!

I had a recipe similar to this years ago and misplaced it. I am glad I stumbled upon this one. It is i of the only ones I found that does not call for the addition of java. (call me crazy) I practise non enjoy the flavor of chocolate and coffee. This is a moist cake (careful do not overbake) with a nice texture. I do make a chocolate glaze and cascade over the top, very chocolatey.

This recipe was wonderful, I made it on Valentine'due south Day, added some fresh strawberries and chocolate sauce on the plate and the kids and husband loved it! I iced information technology with a mixture of cocoa powder, confectioner's carbohydrate, and heavy cream while it was still warm and let it soak into the cake. YUM!

I thought the recipe was pretty bad. For a pound cake you always expect a rich, moist block. This was neither.

Well, here it is, 23 July 2008, hurricane Dolly is headed for our Texas coast. Thank goodness we are non getting the direct hit. My sixteen year old wants a chocolate pound block, I fabricated this i and information technology was wonderful comfort food in our time of need<><

This was a very proficient pound cake. I retrieve it tasted ameliorate the second 24-hour interval. I used the Satiny Chocolate Glaze to frost it. Next fourth dimension, I will add miniature chocolate chips to the cake batter for more texture.

I didn't like this cake. I really threw it abroad. It was very heavy and not super moist. Mayhap I did something wrong.

This block was a hit at our house during the Valentine's Twenty-four hours. I did add together 1/two loving cup more of unsweetened cocoa pulverisation. I too substituted buttermilk for the 1 1/8 loving cup of milk. I finished with a fudge frosting and topped with strawberries.

Delicioius, moist block, not quite equally dense as I am accustomed to. Everybody liked information technology. 1 problem; the recipe was plenty for two bundt cake pans! End result I had two cakes - both are gone!

I dear cakes. I make them all the time. I accept to say this has to be THE worst chocolate cake I have ever had. It didn't have the consistency of regular pound block. As well the taste was off. In my opinion it does non have plenty sugar. I won't swallow the residual of the cake, and I sure will never go far again.

This is a great recipe to customize. I used evaporated milk instead of whole milk, this gave it richness. I as well added dark chocolate mint morsels, this gave the cake a wonderful mint taste and fudgey texture.

I made this for my Dad'due south 63rd birthday and he absolutely loved it.I choose this recipe because its very easy to follow and can be whipped up quite quickly as opposed to other recipes which can be too time consuming. This one will e'er have a place in my recipe box.Thank you for sharing.

Extremely like shooting fish in a barrel! I've made this twice and it was perfect both times. Very moist with the perfect crust. I shared some with my mom terminal calendar week and she insisted I had used her old family unit recipe. Information technology was difficult disarming her I had non. This cake will get a staple in my family.

Great chocolate pound cake. It is good plainly or you can put chocolate frosting on it. It is great with coffee or milk!

Very Disappointed in this recipe! I should have read the reviews before I printed it out & made this recipe. This is the worst chocolate pound cake recipe I've ever baked & I accept made several over the 40 years I've been cooking. Can barely sense of taste whatsoever chocolate flavor. And while it is moist, it'southward far from the consistency of a pound cake. I took a 1" piece, ate half of it & threw the rest of the cake out. What a waste of ingredients! I would be so embarrassed to present a slice of this cake to anyone.

OMG MY LOVED THIS RECIPE...very easy and very mosit. When I bite into it just cook in my mouth also I brand some bootleg chocolate frosting to top it off. also my husband LOVED IT HE had two pieces and a full glass of milk.......I have saved this recipe and I will exist making information technology again.

If you lot honey pound cake, you lot'll love this! Someone had reviewed that this block was dense and heavy. Well, yep - information technology's a pound cake! I had to cook the cake a full 15 minutes longer than the recipie states, maybe information technology was my oven, but information technology was withal batter in the middle until I left it for a bit longer. Super delicious!

I did subtract the cooking time by about x minutes, cake was moist and delicious with whipped cream!

After reading i of the reviews I besides doubled the cocoa and since I just had buttermilk I used it instead of regular milk. This turned out very moist. While I am a huge fan of pound cakes I call up I adopt them more traditional where you sense of taste the Vanilla and butter. It simply seemed even heavier than nigh, but very adept overall.

I made this last night, it had a good chocolate taste, however, information technology was very very sugariness. I feel besides sugariness for a chocolate pound cake. And that was with out an icing, I served with whipped foam on top.

Rivals my corking-grandmother's pound cake recipe!

Used half butter and 1/ii Smart Residual in place of butter and shorteneing. Turned out smashing but with less fat.

This cake doesn't brand very good cupcakes, simply tastes bang-up as a normal cake.

This is the 2nd best chocolate cake that I take ever fabricated. I will admit that it came out with more than of a credibility consistancy, but that is probably my fault. I should have let it bake a little longer. I will brand this once more. Thank you for sharing.

Very expert, got admittedly no complaints from anyone. I was expecting it to be a bit more chocolatey and not quite as dumbo though. Tastes pretty good with ice cream :)

This looks succulent! Nosotros're making it as presently as we go out of this snowstorm and to the store!

Moist, tender, sugariness-just right.Excellant recipe! Doesn't need an icing! I made it with five major brands of all purpose flour bleached and unbleached with consistancy, even with whole wheat flour(iced to hide the whole wheat flavor) and have received cypher simply compliments. Easy to make and consistant. I've been lining the pan with parchment paper!

This chocolate cake was OK, but I won't arrive over again. I was looking for a more "chocolatey" cake. I'll stick with ane of my tried-and-truthful. For the cost of ingredients and the time - not worth it. Sorry.....

Have to effigy out what went wrong, this cake was very dry, I went by the direction, maybe cocoa powder was bad,couldn't notice an expiration date. The cakes surface was and then hard I couldn't insert toothpick, not good at all, might try calculation chocolate pudding next time. Family however ate it,I wouldn't have felt bad if they had non eaten it.

First-class cake- moist notwithstanding tender. Ameliorate later information technology cools. But as good alone as it is with a thin chocolate coat.

An skilful easy recipe that produces a dense block. It pays to utilize adept chocolate and I thought a chocolate glaze was absolutely necessary. Just not intense enough without it just I besides think more chocolate is always ameliorate.

No Changes and yes, I will make again!!!

The recipe was ok, it was very dense and was more of a brownie recipe only it was still skillful. I won't make it again every bit I was looking for a lighter block.

Recipe is perfect, thanks

Made this this block for my Dad's 90th Birthday party, only one of many dessert I fabricated for the upshot. Give thanks God this cake wasn't the main allure, because it wasn't. The cake lacked flavor, had little, if any chocolate taste at all!! The texture was nice and moist. Will be looking for another chocolate block recipe ??.

This is a great all around chocolate pound cake. Although it was not as heavy as some pounds that I fabricated, it was delicious. I used 1 1/2 cups butter instead of butter and shortening, 1 cup instead of one/two cup cocoa powder, 3 cups instead of 3 1/ii cups flour and used buttermilk instead of milk. I experimented and found I could sprinkle regular chocolate chips on tiptop and they would stay. I besides mixed regular chocolate chips into the batter just before I put it in the pan and they stayed spread throughout the cake. I put shaved chocolate in the batter and got a really moist a delicious brownie texture. I tried raspberry and orange flavoring without that taste coming through very well. Vanilla seemed to work best. I love the versatility of this recipe and it is now a definite go-to.

Fabricated recipe exactly as directed. Cooked in ane hour fifteen minutes (probably should accept taken out of oven at i 60 minutes 10 minutes). Cake was expert just a bit light on chocolate flavor and not quite as dumbo as I like Pound Cakes (I tend to like pound cakes very dense). Next time I make I will try substituting two-three ounces of cream cheese for the butter to assistance density. I did finish the cake by drizzling Ganache which I would recommend (Chocolate Ganache by INGRIDEVOGEL on All Recipes)

I wasn't impressed with this recipe. It was moist enough, but non nearly chocolatey enough, and I wasn't compelled enough by it to make my own adjustments to make information technology work.

Bully recipe! I used it to make a sheet cake, a circular cake, and a small loaf pan so information technology only took 30-40min to broil. Works swell for cutting shapes! Notation is it definitely dumbo (it IS a pound block later all) and shrinks in the pan a little. It is not dry though, very moist. Definitely would recommend!

I halved this recipe and it made a generous 9x5 loaf that was dumbo and moist with a nice, gentle flavor. I'll definitely be making this again, but perhaps with some chocolate chips to make an even richer chocolatey treat. :)

The cake came out out dense but moist as expected of a pound cake. Although, information technology wasn't "chocolatey" enough for my tastes. I guess I was expecting something more than alike to Devil's Nutrient. Still it was very good. I may endeavour substituting some of the vanilla excerpt with Rum extract for a Chocolate Rum Pound block. When I do, I'll mail the results.

Well I followed the directions to a T,an hour and a half later it looked bang-up I fabricated frosting waited till it cooled frosted information technology was excited to try it took 1 bite and spit it out! What the heck went incorrect with this cake? Waste of eggs flour and sugar! Non a pound cake .

Wonderfully moist, dense, firm chocolate cake--definitely my go-to recipe for chocolate pound block.

This is a good block, but I actually expected a deeper chocolate flavor. I did check the cake after i hour and 15 minutes, just it did non exam done. Information technology needed the full blistering time. I accept an oven thermometer, and know that my oven temperature is within 5 degrees. And then it seems the blistering fourth dimension is right, at to the lowest degree at this elevation.
