Pound Cake Is A Favorite

If you ask people what their favorite cake is, I bet pound cake is in the top ten. Number one on that list is chocolate cake . So when you combine those two, you know you have a winner!

Milk chocolate pound cake is a bit different than other fudge, devil’s food or chocolate cake since it uses milk chocolate. The others listed will use either dark chocolate or cocoa. Using milk chocolate will make this cake a tad sweeter and that makes it an excellent dessert cake.

Chocolate Choices

Since I’ve never seen milk chocolate sold in baking bars–not saying it doesn’t exist just that I’ve never seen it–I used milk chocolate morsels in this cake. You can also use candy bars. For me, the morsels were more convenient and easier to measure. Just an aside, and where I can’t speak for other states (or countries), in New York you pay tax on chocolate bought in the candy aisle where it’s tax exempt in the baking aisle.

Another curious thing about the chocolate is the original recipe called for adding water to it. By and large, this is a no-no with chocolate as water makes it seize and seize it did, but funny enough, it worked so don’t let it scare you.

Makes A Lot Of Batter

You’ll definitely need to use a 10-cup Bundt pan for this but you may not have to use the entire batter. As you can see from the photos, the batter rose a bit over the rim of the pan. While this isn’t a drastic thing, you’ll want to fill the pan a tad lower than where the fluting ends. Otherwise you’ll get a “slice with a handle” the same as I got.
