Chocolate Pound Cake

from Paris Sweets by Dorie Greenspan

This ain’t your grandmother’s pound cake.

Or maybe it is if she’s French and uses chocolate.

And if it IS your grandma’s recipe? You are one lucky grandchild.

This pound cake isn’t so much a cake as it is some really good bread that happens to taste like chocolate. It’s not make-you-sick sweet, and it barely registers as dessert… but it satisfies my sweet tooth.

I particularly like slicing into this while enjoying a cup of black tea! The two go perfectly together.

Will I make this again? Absolutely! As a matter of fact, I have extra loaves in my freezer just in case I have an emergency craving for chocolate. Plus, I’m thinking it’ll be great to serve as part of the desserts on Thanksgiving!
