🌹 Still trying to get it right. 🤷♀️
Ms. Mofet's Chocolate Pound Cake (1 Bundt or 6 Mini Loaves)
8 oz. (2 sticks) butter, softened
8 oz. Greek yogurt (homemade, preferably)
3 C. sugar
6 eggs
1 tsp. Vanilla extract
2 1/4 C. all-purpose or cake flour
1 tsp. Baking powder
3/4 C. unsweetened cocoa powder
1/32 tsp. Salt
*Directions for 6 Mini Loaves below
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Spray with Bakers Joy or grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan.
Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter, yogurt, and sugar.
Add the eggs, 2 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla.
In another bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and cocoa. Add 1/2 the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, beat well, add the remaining 1/2 flour mixture, and continue to beat at medium speed for 2 minutes.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour, 15 minutes.
Do not open the oven to check the cake for at least 1 hour.
Bake until tooth pick inserted in center comes out clean or until cake bounces back when touched lightly in the center with finger.
Continue to bake for an additional 15 minutes if necessary.
Cool completely then remove from pan. Frost if desired.
I used a 9.5 inch fluted pan – I used all the batter and just put a cookie sheet under it just in case. It rose above the top of the pan but didn’t overflow the side OR the center hole.
*6 Mini Loaves (5.75"X3")
Spray with Bakers Joy or grease and flour 6 pans
Fill pans 2/3 full
