1 (8oz) (226g) package cream cheese softened
2 sticks (1cup) (226g) unsalted butter, softened
2 cups (400g) sugar
4 large eggs, room temperature
2 cups (228g) cake flour - See Notes below for substitution
1 cup (82g) unsweetened cocoa powder sifted (measure then sift)
2 teaspoons (8g) baking powder
1/2 teaspoon (3g) baking soda
1/2 teaspoon (3g) salt
1 teaspoon (4g) vanilla extract
1 cup (240g) milk
2 sticks (1 cup) (226g) unsalted butter, softened
2 teaspoons (8g) vanilla extract
6 to 6 1/2 cups (690g to 747g) powdered sugar
1/4 cup (20g) cocoa lightly spoon into cup and level
2 (8oz) packages cream cheese (total weight 452g) I use full fat cream cheese.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and flour 3 (8x2) round pans
  • In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. Whisk for 30 seconds to blend and set aside.
  • In the bowl of your mixer, add the softened butter and softened cream cheese. Mix until smooth. Gradually add the sugar. Mix on low speed for 3 minutes. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each until the yellow of the yolk disappears.
  • With the mixer on low speed, add about half of the flour mixture. Mix until combined.
  • Add the milk and vanilla. Blend on low speed, then add the remaining flour mixture. Increase the mixing speed slightly and mix until blended and smooth. Do not over mix.
  • Add the batter to the prepared pans and bake at 325 degrees for 20 to 23 minutes. The cake layers are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.
  • Cool the pans on cooling rack 5 to 10 minutes then turn out.
  • Cut the butter into slices and add to the bowl of your mixer. Beat on low to medium speed until the butter is softened and smooth.
  • Add cocoa and mix until blended.
  • Cut the cream cheese into pieces and add to the butter, beating at low to medium speed until incorporated.
  • Add the vanilla. Gradually add the powdered sugar beating on low speed until blended.
  • Increase mixing speed to medium and beat until fluffy, don't over beat. If beaten too long it will become very soft. If this happens, just refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • This frosting will pipe best if used while still very cool. You can make it in advance, refrigerate and when ready to use let it soften slightly (do not microwave) and remix.
  • Will frost a 3 layer 8 or 9 inch cake.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate will work well.
  • Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients blend together more easily and create a smooth batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake rise evenly and prevent it from sinking in the middle.
  • Let the cake cool completely before you glaze it. This will help the glaze set properly.

Conclusion:

This chocolate velvet pound cake with chocolate glaze is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the glaze is rich and chocolatey. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
