Recipe Introduction

"Great soft crumb, mild chocolate flavor, dense and moist like a pound cake sort of. When I was tasting it, I kept thinking that something like Malted Milk ice cream and a nut brittle for crunch would go well with the flavors that were happening. I would not do a fruit flavor with it."

List of Ingredients

1/2 lb 1/2 butter
2 c sugar
4 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla
8 Hershey bars (I figured about 12 oz total, just guessing)
2-1/2 c sifted cake flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp soda
1 c buttermilk
1 c chopped pecan (I used walnuts, did not have any pecans)
1 can (5 1/2oz) Hershey's Syrup



Recipe

Preheat oven to 315F.

Melt chocolate in top of double boiler.

Sift dry ingredients together

Cream butter and sugar

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well each time

Alternate folding in dry ingredients and buttermilk

Fold in syrup and vanilla

Fold in nuts

Bake in a greased tube pan (large size) for 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours. (It took the full 1 3/4 hours for my oven)

Cool

Dust with powdered sugar

(Also, I dusted the tube pan with cocoa powder instead of flour.)
