Chocolate Sour Cream Pound Cake

One of the easiest and most delicious cakes I make is my Cream Cheese Pound Cake.  You can whip up in no time and no matter where you take it, everyone loves it!  I shared the recipe the other day and everyone said they would like to see a similar one made with chocolate and sour cream.  Who am I to argue...so I got right to work.  This cake turned out dense, heavy and has a rich chocolate flavor.  I added in a handful of chocolate chips to take it over the edge, however you can always leave them out.  I hope you enjoy both recipes!

Ingredients are as follows:

1 1/2 C butter, softened

8 oz. sour cream

2 1/2 C sugar

5 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

1 C cocoa
1 tsp. baking powder

2 C flour 

1 C chocolate chips, optional

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees; grease a 10" bundt pan.

Cream together the butter, sour cream and sugar.

Add eggs in, one at a time, and mix until incorporated.  Stir in vanilla.

By hand, stir in the cocoa, baking powder and flour. 

Pour into prepared pan.

 Bake for 55-60 minutes; until a toothpick comes out clean.

Allow to cool for ten minutes, remove from pan and continue to cool.            Slice, serve and enjoy!
