Ingredients:

For the chocolate pound cake:

  • 215 grams flour
  • 60 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 330 grams granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 110 grams vegetable or canola oil
  • 2 eggs, at room temperature
  • 160 grams sour cream, at room temperature
  • 110 ml buttermilk, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 110 ml freshly brewed (hot) black coffee

For the cream cheese filling:

  • 160 grams cream cheese, softened to room temperature

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

To make the chocolate pound cake:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F/177°C; Grease one pound cake pan; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt, baking powder, and sugar. Set aside.
  • Using an electric mixer, mix the eggs, oil, sour cream, vanilla, and buttermilk together until well incorporated.
  • Apply the wet ingredients into the dry ones, pour the freshly brewed coffee, and mix all until you get a nice batter. Set aside as you prepare the filling.

To make the cream cheese filling: 

  • Using an electric mixer, on high speed, whisk the cream cheese until no lumps remain. Now, on medium-high speed, whisk in the rest of the ingredients until incorporated.
  • Place 1/2 of the chocolate batter evenly into the prepared pan. Then, spread all of the cream over (because of the thickness you can use a spoon to spread it around – do not touch the sides of the baking pan). After that, pour the rest of the chocolate batter on top.
  • Place in the oven and bake for about 55 to 65 minutes or just until a toothpick inserted in it comes out clean or with just a few light moist crumbs.
  • When done, remove and let it for 2 hours inside the baking pan. After that, invert the cooled pound cake onto a serving dish or wire rack. Allow cake to chill entirely, then refrigerate for two hours to set.
  • Before serving, garnish with toppings of your choice (if desired); slice and serve.
  • You can keep any leftovers in the refrigerator for 3 days.

Enjoy!
