Ingredients

For the Pound Cake:

  • 1 ½ cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup sour cream, room temperature
  • 1 cup whole milk (or buttermilk for richness)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Frosting:

  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • ½ cup heavy cream (add more as needed)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Make the Pound Cake: Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan or extra-deep Bundt pan. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy (4–5 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla. Mix in sour cream until smooth. Alternate adding the flour mixture and milk, beginning and ending with flour. Mix until just combined. Pour batter into prepared pan (it will be thick). Smooth the top. Bake for 75–85 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  2. Make the Frosting: In a large bowl, beat butter until creamy. Add cocoa powder and blend until smooth. Gradually beat in powdered sugar, alternating with cream, until fluffy and spreadable. Mix in vanilla and salt.
  3. Assemble: Once cake is completely cooled, frost the top and sides generously with chocolate frosting. For an even more dramatic look, drizzle melted chocolate over the frosted cake and sprinkle with chocolate curls or shavings.
