Triple Chocolate Pound Cake
1 cup softened butter (unsalted)
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 1/3 cups sifted flour
2/3 cup dutch process cocoa
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup sour cream
3/4 mini chocolate chips
Glaze
5 oz semi sweet chocolate
2/3 cup whipping cream
Beat butter at medium speed 1 minute or until smooth and creamy. Add sugar; beat 5 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Scrape down sides.
Put all dry ingredients together in a separate bowl and stir them to blend together. At low speed add dry to butter/sugar mixture in 3 portions, alternating with sour cream and ending with flour mixture. Beat 5 seconds after each addition. Add chocolate chips; finish stirring batter with spatula until blended.
Use a BIG bundt pan (12 cups?) or a really big springform pan (10 or 11 inches?) and be generous when greasing. I like to grease it and then use cocoa instead of flour for this cake.
Bake at 350 for 45 to 50 minutes or til skewer comes out clean. Cool completely before adding glaze.
Place cream in microwave safe bowl (measuring cup) and nuke for 1 - 1.5 minutes til bubble form but its not boiling. Add the chocolate to the hot cream and whisk like a wild thing. Cool a little bit and then pour over cake.
You can then place raspberries or blueberries on top, or sprinkle some powdered sugar on top for a decoration.
Edit: I originally got this from a magazine, but have adapted it myself as it was a PITA to start with. Its a delicious cake although a bit dryer than we like.

Thanks Patty. I know pound cake is dry, but I adjust my recipes to give a bit more moisture and density as a rule. This one is a little dryer than we like, thus my suggestion for fresh berries on top.

Meh...use your 9 inch springform but cook longer, testing with a toothpick. And just use whatever cocoa you have. It will be fine I think. I think you just add a tsp of baking powder if you don't have dutch process. Enjoy!
