Chocolate Pound Cake

Chocolate Pound Cake

Ingredients

• 1¾ cups all-purpose flour

• 2 cup white sugar

• ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

• 2 tsp baking soda

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp salt

• 2 eggs

• 1 cup strong brewed coffee

• 1 cup buttermilk

• ½ cup vegetable oil

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

• Grease and flour one 12-cup bundt pan.

• In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

• In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, coffee, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla.

• Make a well in the center of the mixed dry ingredients, and pour in the mixture of wet ingredients. Beat for 2 minutes at medium speed.

• Pour the batter into the pan. For round cake pans, bake it for 30 to 35 minutes, 35 to 40 minutes for rectangular pans, and 50 to 55 minutes for bundt pans. You’ll also know when it’s done when you insert a toothpick into the center and it comes out clean.

• Cool for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and finish cooling on a wire rack.

• Frost as desired, then serve.
