This is a basic, but delicious, chocolate pound cake. It's baked in a Bundt pan and you can frost or glaze it as you wish.

ingredients

1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup shortening
2 3/4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 eggs, at room temperature
3 cups flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cup milk, at room temperature

directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and flour a Bundt pan. Sift together dry ingredients; set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, shortening, sugar, and vanilla. Beat in eggs one at a time on medium speed, scraping bowl with a spatula after each addition. Add dry ingredients and milk alternately while mixing on low speed, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix just until completely blended.

Mix a few more strokes with the spatula to be sure all dry ingredients are incorporated. Pour batter into prepared pan.

Bake 1-1/2 hours, until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.

    I'll definitely make the low carb chocolate cupcakes. It's much easier nowadays to find low carb recipes that still taste good.

  2. Ellen REVIEW:

    I've been looking for a good recipe for along time, this is simple and I had all ingredients on hand. Frosted it with recipe on cocoa box. Really good!
