Welcome to Baking it Rich!
Hello, and thank you for viewing my blog! Since I was a child I have always loved baking. So, I thought it would be a great idea to create a place online where I could share recipes, pictures, and tips on baking with other people who enjoy the same thing. Please feel free to look around, comment, share, post, follow (must sign in with gmail) and most importantly, try out some recipes!
Hope to hear from you,

Chocolate Pound Cake!
Chocolate Pound Cake!
If you like pound cake, then you must try this! It's not too sweet, so it is just perfect for an after-dinner dessert or a light snack. You can take this recipe and make it in a 13x9 dish, bundt cake dish, muffin cups, or small loaf pans. I used a regular, non-fluted bundt cake pan. Any way you want to make it, it still tastes just as good!
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup shortening
- 2 sticks of softened butter
- 3 cups sugar
- 5 eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cream together the shortening, butter and sugar, until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs, one at a time.
- In a small bowl, sift together the cocoa, flour, and baking powder.
- Mix together buttermilk and vanilla in a small bowl and mix into the shortening mixture.
- Slowly, by thirds, add in the flour mixture.
- Make sure it is well blended and pour into a greased pan.
- Bake for about 1 hour and 10 minutes.
- Serve any way you like it! Enjoy!
