I had some buttermilk I had to use as well as an open bag of dark chocolate Dove chocolates (which kept calling my name, lol). I made this cake and will slice it up for hubby to bring to work tomorrow. After dinner, we had a slice for dessert. We had to make sure it was good... and it was delish.

How To Make dark chocolate buttermilk pound cake

  • 1
    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, and dark chocolate cocoa powder in a medium bowl.
  • 2
    In a separate bowl, beat together the butter and sugar. Add one egg at a time mixing as you go. Then add the vanilla and almond extracts.
  • 3
    In a small bowl, melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals until melted. Stir every 30 seconds.
  • 4
    Add the melted chocolate to the butter mixture. Mix until all the streaks are gone.
  • 5
    Mix a little of the flour mixture into the chocolate mixture.
  • 6
    Alternate flour with the buttermilk mixing as you go. End with the buttermilk.
  • 7
    Spread the batter into a prepared Bundt pan.
  • 8
    Bake at 325 degrees for 75 - 80 minutes or until a tester comes clean.

    Once the cake is cooled, mix the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and cream. Add cream a little at a time until it is a good consistency to drizzle.
