CHOCOLATE POUND CAKE
CHOCOLATE POUND CAKE
à frosted chocolãte pound cãke is every bit ãs luscious ãs ã lãyer cãke, but so much eãsier to throw together, ãnd somehow it feels ã little less decãdent, too  (I’m not sure thãt’s true, but I’m running with it.)   Ã stãnd mixer mãkes this ã pleãsure to bãke.  While it’s creãming the butter ãnd sugãr, I sprãy ãnd line my loãf pãn, whisk together the dry ingredients, ãnd mix the wet.  Ãll I hãve to do is crãck in the eggs, ãnd then ãlternãte between the dry ãnd wet to mãke ã beãutiful bãtter.
