This has been my favorite pound cake for the last 15 or 20 years. But I must admit that I recently made Juenessa's Chocolate-Swirled Pound Cake and now I have two favorites. :-) Ingredients:
2 cups sugar |
1 cup butter, softened |
3 1/2 cups flour |
1 cup milk |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
4 eggs |
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350°F Grease a 10 tube pan.
2. Beat sugar and butter until blended; then increase speed to high and beat until light and fluffy.
3. Add flour and remaining ingredients EXCEPT cocoa. Beat at low speed until well mixed, scraping bowl often; then increase to high and beat 4 minutes longer, scraping bowl as needed.
4. Scoop out 2 1/2 cups of batter into a small bowl. Whisk in cocoa powder.
5. Alternately spoon vanilla and chocolate batters into prepared tube pan. Using a knife, cut and twist through batter to create a marble effect.
6. Bake 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
7. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Then run a spatula or knife around the pan to loosen the cake. Remove cake and cook on a wire rack.
