RICK'S CHOCOLATE POUND CAKE
I named this after my husband because this is my husband's favorite chocolate dessert. He always lends a hand to help make it, which makes the task easier. It does take a few minutes to put all the ingredients together, but well worth the time! My mom always made great cakes by following the directions as posted in this recipe....

- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the cake; it should come out clean. Cool the cake in the pan for 30 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

SUPER RICH CHOCOLATE POUND CAKE
A relatively quick and easy cake, with a dynamite taste! During the school year (my husband and I are both teachers), things get a little hectic with grading exams, papers, and projects...plus my son Jake is starting pre-school in a few weeks...so I'm glad to have some fast, reliable goodies on hand that don't take too much time to make or require a lot of fuss. Try it once--you'll see;)

RICK'S MOM'S CHOCOLATE CAKE
I got this recipe from a friend's Mom. I really like it because it is eggless and milkless, so I can make it even when the fridge is a little bare.
