Mom's Chocolate Pound Cake image

This was one of my favorite things to make when I learned to bake. My mom made this when we were little and it was a real treat to have this as a decadent coffee cake. This is good without any topping, but I have tried a variety of things on the top: melted chocolate frosting, powdered sugar or glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.

Tips:

Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. This will help the batter to blend more evenly and create a smoother cake.
Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
Do not open the oven door during baking. This can cause the cake to fall.
Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
