DARK CHOCOLATE BROWN SUGAR POUND CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE GLAZE
Steps:
- Do not preheat oven. Butter and flour a 12-cup bundt pan, knocking out any excess flour.
- Into a small bowl sift together flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. In another small bowl stir together baking soda and sour cream.
- In a large bowl with an electric mixer (preferably a standing electric mixer) beat together butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 10 minutes. Beat in extracts and add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. With mixer at low speed, add flour mixture and sour cream mixture alternately in batches, beating until just combined.
- Pour batter into bundt pan and put in middle of cold oven. Set oven to 350°F and bake cake 1 hour and 25 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Cool cake in pan on a rack 15 minutes and turn out onto rack to cool completely. Pound cake keeps, wrapped in plastic wrap, at room temperature 1 week. Alternatively, pound cake may be frozen, wrapped well in plastic wrap and foil, 3 months.
- Chop bittersweet chocolate and in a double boiler or a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water melt chocolate with butter, stirring until smooth. Transfer glaze to a pastry bag fitted with a #3 plain tip (slightly smaller than 1/8 inch). (Alternatively, transfer glaze to a small heavy-duty sealable plastic bag and press out excess air. Snip off 1 corner, making a small hole.) Pipe glaze back and forth over top of cake, letting it drip down sides. Let glaze set 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Serve cake with dollops of sour cream and strawberries.

Tips:
- Soften butter and cream cheese to room temperature: This will ensure a smooth and creamy batter.
- Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients: This will help prevent overmixing, which can result in a tough cake.
- Fold in chocolate chips: Be careful not to overmix, as this can cause the chocolate chips to melt and bleed into the batter.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
- Let the cake cool completely before glazing: This will help the glaze set properly.
