Best Chocolate Cream Cheese Pound Cake Recipes

Steps:

• 1. A stand mixer works best for this recipe for me. Cream together the butter and cream cheese on high until almost white. Gradually add sugar. Gradually add the cocoa. Add the dash of cinnamon. Never stop the mixer if possible. Add the eggs one at a time incorporating each completely before adding the next. Add the vanilla. Add the salt.
• 2. Gradually add the flour one cup at a time incorporating each completely. Turn the mixer on high and mix for at least another minute.
• 3. Pour the cake batter into a well greased and floured tube pan. May use powdered sugar instead of flour if you like. This will add to the crispness of the sides. Place cake in a cold oven and bake at 315 degrees for approximately 2 hours. I usually check the readiness with a knife at 1 hour 45 minutes. Allow to stand in the pan about 20 minutes before turning out. Then allow another 20 minutes before cutting to serve.
• 4. Can place on a beautiful cake plate and surround with frosted grapes or chocolate dipped strawberries. This cake is wonderful alone or served with ice cream or fruit or both! Whipped cream is nice too!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease/spray a 10-inch Bundt pan.
• Cream butter, cream cheese, and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Add vanilla.
• In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and cocoa. Add about half of the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat well. Add remaining flour mixture and beat well for about 2 minutes.
• Pour batter into Bundt pan. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until done.

Steps:

• Blend on low speed for 1 minute.
• Stop the machine and scrape down the sides.
• Beat 2 minutes more on medium speed.
• The batter should look well-combined.
• Pour in the pan and bake 58 to 62 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly pressed and is just starting to pull away from the sides.
• Remove cake to wire rack and allow it to cool for 20 minutes.
• Run a long sharp knife around the edge and invert it onto a rack.
• Then invert it onto another rack so the large side is up.
