Heritage Chocolate Pound Cake
A Davis Signature Recipe
2-1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon Davis baking powder
1-1/4 cups butter (2-1/2 sticks), softened
2-1/2 cups sugar
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (I used Droste)
2 teaspoons vanilla
5 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
Mix together flour and Davis baking powder in a medium-sized bowl.
In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add cocoa and beat well. Mix in vanilla. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir flour mixture into chocolate mixture alternately with buttermilk. Beat at low speed until just blended after each addition.
Spoon batter into greased and floured 12-cup tube pan; smooth top.
Bake at 325 Degrees F. for 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 15 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack.
Delicious with a dusting of powdered sugar or your favorite fruit compote. Dress up or dress down as you prefer.
Yield: 12 servings.
This recipe was featured in an ad by Davis Baking Powder, in a Martha Stewart Living, unfortunately, I did'nt mark down the date.
I have made this now for about the fourth time and just the smell in the kitchen is enough to make you want to bake it, let alone how good it is.
Enjoy!
