Excellent pound cake! I had some Hershey's special dark chocolate syrup that I needed to use, and this recipe was perfect. The dark syrup made for a deep dark chocolate swirl. -
Great cake, I added in 1/2 teaspoon baking powder just to give it a bit of a boost, I baked it in an air-convection oven at 300 degrees and mine baked out in 1 hour and 20 minutes, I found I had to cover it the last 20 minutes of baking as it really started to over brown but did bake out beautifully so 5-stars all the way hon...Kitten:) -
Absolutely delicious! I was so thrilled with this recipe. Easy to make and instructions was easy to read. The cake was just the right texture and so moist. It was a huge hit at the lake with all our friends. Its one I will be making again. Thank you for sharing the recipe. I love the Southern Living Magazine.
