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.

Time 2h35m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 ½ cups margarine, melted
3 cups white sugar
1 cup milk
5 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Thoroughly grease a 10-inch fluted tube pan. Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder in a bowl until thoroughly combined.
  • In a large bowl, mix the melted margarine, sugar, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract; beat the flour mixture into the margarine mixture with an electric mixer set on Low until the batter is smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the top of the cake forms a crust and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Cool cake in pan on wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes before removing pan, then allow cake to cool completely.

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it was a little lighter and fluffier.
