Chocolate Pound Cake
Makes 22 large slices

List of Ingredients
3 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup dutch processed cocoa
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups sweet butter or margarine, softened
3 cups granulated sugar
5 large eggs
1 1/4 cups milk
1 tsp vanilla extract


Recipe
Do not preheat the oven. Grease and flour a 12 cup tube pan.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, cocoa and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the margarine and sugar on low speed until fluffy, about 8-9 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in the dry ingredients alternately with the milk. After each addition, scrape the bowl with a spatula so that all the ingredients are well distributed. Beat in the vanilla extract.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Place the pan in a cold oven and set the oven temperature to 325º. Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 1 hour before removing to a cake rack to cool for at least 3 hours longer.
