Southern-Style Chocolate Pound Cake image

I found this recipe and wanted to share it with you all. It turned out very good. It's not too sweet and not too chocolaty. You can add more cocoa if you'd like.

This cake is a bit dry, but the flavor is good. I think I'll try adding some extra butter next time.
