Mahogany Pound Cake image

I'm not sure where this recipe originated; I've made it for my family for over 20 years. To me, it tastes like chocolate ice cream. Make it a mocha pound cake by adding 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules! Make the cake extra special by adding Recipe #387021. :) If Hershey's Special Dark dutch-processed cocoa is used, the cake will be a rich dark color! *Note: For a lighter, even more tender cake, separate the eggs; cream in the egg yolks with the butter and sugars; fold the stiffly beaten whites into the batter after the sour cream is added.

Time 1h39m

Yield 18-20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 dash salt
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder (For a darker, richer-looking cake, use dutch-processed cocoa, PLUS 1/2 tsp cream of tartar)
1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
6 large eggs, separated if desired
2 tablespoons instant coffee granules (Optional, if desired, for mocha flavor!)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Preheat oven at 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Sift together salt, flour and cocoa.
  • Cream together butter, both sugars, and eggs. (See Note* ).
  • Add optional instant coffee granules for a mocha pound cake!
  • Add vanilla.
  • Combine sour cream and baking soda.
  • Combine creamed mixture with dry ingredients and alternate with sour cream mixture.
  • *Note: For a lighter, even more tender cake, separate the eggs; cream in the yolks with the butter and sugars; fold the stiffly beaten whites into the batter after the sour cream is added.
  • Pour into a greased and floured 10 inch tube pan.
  • Bake 1 hour and 20 minutes. I cover the cake with foil paper for the last 20 minutes of baking.

I was thrilled to find a mahogany pound cake recipe that was gluten-free. I've tried several other recipes in the past, but they've always been dry and crumbly. This one, however, was moist and flavorful, with a texture that was spot-on. I'm so happy
