A dear friend of mine gave me a new Southern Living Cookbook for my birthday and every recipe in it is “chocolate”. So since friends are coming over tonight for dinner, I decided to make the “chocolate Velvet Pound Cake”. Randy and I both had to slice into it while it was still hot and it is so velvety and yummy, I can’t even begin to tell you. The recipe for it is:
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips melted
1 stick of butter, softened
3 eggs
1 8 oz container of sour cream
2 cups flour
1 16 oz box of light brown sugar
2 teas vanilla
1 teas baking soda
1/4 teas salt
1 cup boiling water
Melt the chocolate chps. Beat the butter and brown sugar until well blended, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time beating just until blended with the sugar mixture. Add the vanilla and melted chocolate and blend well. Add the baking soda and salt to the flour and stir. Add flour mixture alternately with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Gradually, at low speed, mix in the boiling water. Pour into a 10 cup greased bundth pan and bake for about 45 to 50 minutes. Turn onto cake plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
I am serving mine tonight with caramel or hot fudge sauce and ice cream. It is so moise, you will love it. All too easy!
