Ice this chocolate cake with a chocolate or vanilla glaze, sour cream chocolate frosting, or serve it with sliced fruit and whipped topping.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 2 squares (2 ounces) unsweetened chocolate, cut in small pieces
  • 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour (sift before measuring)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
  • 1 3/4 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

PREPARATION:

In a small bowl, pour boiling water over the chocolate; set aside to melt then cool for about 20 minutes. Grease and flour a tube cake pan or Bundt pan. Preheat oven to 325°. Sift flour into a bowl with salt and baking soda.

In a large mixing bowl with an electric hand-held mixer at high speed, cream butter and brown sugar; add eggs and vanilla and beat until light and fluffy.

On low speed, beat in flour mixture, alternating with sour cream, ending with flour mixture. Beat in chocolate mixture until just blended. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake chocolate pound cake for about 1 hour, or until a wooden pick or cake tester comes out clean. Cool in pan on rack for 15 minutes. Remove from pan and continue cooling on rack. Sprinkle cooled cake with sifted confectioners's sugar or drizzle with icing or glaze.
