While traditionally, pound cake originally used a pound of butter, a pound of sugar, etc., they've evolved some, and not all pound cakes subscribe to that school of thought.
Such is the case with today's baking adventure - chocolate pound cake.
2 sticks of butter
1/2 cup vegetable oil
5 eggs
1/2 tsp salt
3 cups sugar
3 cups of sifted flour (I used the equivalent of unsifted cake flour since Softasilk does not need sifting - that was 3 cups 6 tbsp)
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/4 cups milk
With a high speed mixer, cream butter, oil, and sugar until light and fluffy.
Pour into a lightly greased tube or bundt pan. Bake 90 minutes at 350 degrees. After the cake has cooled, remove it from the pan.
I glazed mine with a simple sugar glaze.
