Great pound cake, easy to make and great results. I modified it slightly using one cup of whole wheat flour and 2 cups all purpose. Makes two large loaves, took 1 hour and 15 minutes to bake.

I made this cake over the weekend to bring to a friends house.... Outstanding classic tasting chocolate pound cake, simple and easy. It was almost gone before we left! I used dutch processed cocoa, unsalted butter and unbleached cake flour...
