Recipe: Chocolate Pound Cake
1 cup oil
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups unsifted Pillsbury Unbleached or King Arthur Unbleached Flour*
2 tsps baking soda
2 tsps baking powder
5 tbsps cocoa
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup boiling water
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Grease Loaf pan or two 9 inch cake pans
1. In large mixing bowl combine oil, sugar, eggs, and pure vanilla extract.
2. Combine dry ingredients.
3. Alternate dry ingredients and buttermilk to first mixture, mix well after each addition.
4. Add hot water to mixture and blend well.
5. Mixture will be thin. Pour into well greased loaf pan or two 9inch cake pans.
6. Loaf pan bake for 40 - 45 mins. Cake pans bake 25 mins.
* Use unbleached flour for best flavor. Unbleached flour is bright white, it's just more time consuming to make. Flour will whiten naturally after milling. Since the natural whitening takes time (about 6 months), many producers speed up the process using chemicals. That process and chemical addition can alter the taste of foods made from bleached flour. |
