Ingredients
Pound Cake
- 1/3 cup unsweetened dutch process cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup hot coffee
- 1 3/4 cups cake flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
Glaze
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened dutch process cocoa powder
- pinch of salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 to 4 tablespoons milk or water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cocoa powder and hot coffee until the cocoa powder has dissolved.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- In the bowl of a mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing for 1 minute after each addition. Mix in the vanilla. Add in the flour mixture and mix just until combined. Very carefully mix in the coffee/chocolate mixture until combined. Add in the buttermilk, then fold in the chocolate chips. Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 50-60 minutes. Allow the cake to cool for 20 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, to make the glaze, sift together the powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Stir in the salt and then the vanilla. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of milk, then continue to add the liquid until the glaze reaches the desired consistency.
- When the cake is cooled, pour the glaze over the top of the cake. Let the cake sit for 30 minutes before cutting and serving.
