Recipe Summary Best Chocolate-Cream Cheese Pound Cake

This makes a dark, moist, fine-crumbed cake that needs nothing else! It's well worth the time to bloom, or dissolve, the cocoa. It brings out the chocolate flavor more. It does not give a mocha flavor, just makes the chocolate flavor deeper.

Ingredients | Cream Cheese Pound Cake Recipe With Cake Mix

cooking spray

1 cup unsweetened dark cocoa powder

½ cup hot coffee

½ cup whole milk, warmed

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon baking powder

3 cups white sugar

1 ½ cups butter, softened

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 eggs, at room temperature

2 egg yolks, at room temperature

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®) with cooking spray.

Mix cocoa powder and hot coffee together in a bowl. Whisk in milk to thin and cool mixture; be sure cocoa is dissolved.

Stir flour, salt, and baking powder together in a bowl.

Cream sugar, butter, and cream cheese together in a bowl using an electric mixer until white and fluffy like frosting, about 5 minutes. Mix in vanilla extract. Add eggs and egg yolks, 1 at a time, mixing completely after each addition. Add half the flour mixture; mix until incorporated. Stir in the cocoa-milk mixture; add the remaining flour mixture. Blend well. Pour batter into the prepared pan.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into a few places comes out dry, 70 to 90 minutes.

Boiling water can be used in place of the hot coffee if desired.

Don't skimp on the butter-creaming time.
