I always add vanilla to the liquid when making cake batters to ensure it incorporates well. The scent of vanilla is absolutely intoxicating, knew an older lady that would measure out vanilla extract then rub the spoon down the length of her arm so that none of it went to waste and she could smell it all day. Made a chocolate angel food cake with chocolate whipped cream icing, and I spread melted chocolate on parchment, then used a toothpick to draw out the letters MTFMC (middle Tennessee future ministers camp) to place on one side of cake and the year 2010 to place on the other. This was for their graduation ceremony and everybody was just oohing and ahhing over how pretty it was. Needless to say I was surprised when it appeared that nobody had tried it, because I knew it was good. Turned it around to discover that they had sliced away the back half with the date and turned the cake back around to keep the letters in tact because they thought it was just too pretty to cut. Did the same for a plain angel food cake and cut strawberry letters to spell out a Bible verse around the cake, but as soon as one person finally cut into it it was practically gone, but nobody else wanted to touch it until then. Don't always eat sweets myself but enjoy making them for others to enjoy, so after these two incidents I'd go to the dessert table and cut it myself. Folks, just so's y'all know, when folks decorate cakes like that, we do appreciate the compliments, but it is absolutely edible, so go on ahead and eat it cause it won't keep forever. Folks nowadays have cameras on their cellphones that they carry everywhere with them, and there's plenty of time to fawn over it before it's time to eat, so y'all go ahead and take a picture and have a slice, it's why we make them.
You know, Paula, it’s just amazing to me that after all these years watching and following you that I still find new recipes to add to my collection of favorites from you and your family. You are a treasure!
My mom used a similar chocolate pound cake recipe in her catering business many years ago. I don't think she did any other "flavor" of cake for the grooms cake. It was the one everyone loved and requested!
Yummy I love making recipes from the Matriarch's that we adore from before. To me it never tastes as good as they did it but it's an AWESOME Memrior. Thank you Aunt Jesse Ruth and Ms Paula H. D. 😘
Leave it to you, Paula, to make a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, wearing a white shirt and not get a spot on you!!!😘 I need a new tube pan and then I'm making this awesome pound cake. This recipe is so sweet and rich...no sugar in my coffee when eating it!! 👍👍❤
What in the world is all that noise?!?!? When you took the cake out of the oven. I cannot wait to make this today. Thanks Paula again 🤗I had to look on your site to get the amount of buttermilk to add and I read some of the comments people left. One is concerning and said that neither her 10 cup or 12 cup bundt pan holds all the batter for this recipe and since that's all I have I think I'm now going to have to make a cake out of this since I don't have another bigger pan.
This looks delicious. Here's a tip, when greasing your pans, use a pastry brush with high-quality butter, avocado or coconut oil, then follow up with flour. It'll save you money also. Yes, Pam is convenient but, those sprays contain propellants and usually an inflammatory oil, such as canola. Beware, look at the ingredients: canola, sunflower, palm, palm kernel, and corn are all inflammatory ingredients. The only oils that are safe for cooking, so to speak, are avocado, coconut, and extra virgin olive oil.
And that looks delicious and once again it's easy to make a pound cake. Question is the pound cake sweet enough without the icing? We use loaf pans when we make our pound cake, so how many loaf pans would this recipe call for? Love having a Saturday video all about chocolate thanks
I’ve been on a pound cake baking kick lately, but haven’t done any chocolate ones yet. I will try this one, looks delicious and I like the nuts on top 😊
Hey Paula! No icing left behind. What is the cake pan you used? It looks like an Angel Food cake pan. Jessie Ruth did it right. My Nanny, Fondella Ruth, was an amazing cook. Are you surprised she went by Ruth? Lol. I love ya Paula. I have watched you for years. You brought out the Foodie in me along with Emeril and good 'ole Justin Wilson on PBS. I'm 55, so not too far behind ya sister. You bring soooo many folks joy. Love from Texas 💕💕💕🇨🇱
I love great homemade poundcake, not store bought. 🥰 You just reminded me to add more Vanilla beans to my own homemade Vanilla. Yes, the smell is heavenly! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! You have stopped using the body mic and it is sooooo much better again. It feels so natural and casual again....just like when you started on RUclips. I've been meaning to express my thanks❤❤❤
Paula, I ate this ice cream tonight & immediately thought of you… it is butter flavored. It has little bits of shortbread in it also, and it’s called “Biscuits with the Boss”. It’s a limited edition Ted Lasso flavor by Jeni’s Ice Creams. I think you would ❤it.
I love chocolate pound cake, and you have to have the icing on it. MMMM I love regular pound cake with chocolate icing, this is my nephews favorite. I make my mother's whipping cream pound cake with chocolate icing every Thanksgiving and of course during the year too. You have got me wanting a chocolate pound cake. I was going to make one, even got out the recipe but have not made it yet, well, I am going to have to make it. Thank you for sharing, Paula, love you.
Sometimes If you wait a little too long to take the cake out of the pan it can stick also. What I do is put the pan back into the oven at the temp you baked it at for a couple of minutes and it usually pops right out. ❤
I'm curious why some recipes want the eggs added one at a time. What would happen if they were all added together? I've never had chocolate pound cake before.
I cannot say why, but all the pound cakes I’ve ever made (and I’ve made many), called for the eggs to be added in one at a time, beating just until each are incorporated.
Which book are you talking about? If it is Paula’s Brother’s Book then it is sold on Amazon and there is no cut off date. The same with Paula’s Books. Amazon has them or you can make a trip to Savannah, Georgia and purchase the books she has available there. The fastest way is Amazon
Paula, not to give you tips,as everything you make is wonderful. Pam spray makes a spray with flour in the spray,and it’s 💯 nothing ever sticks when you use this cooking spray…(just a suggestion) When my mom baked a chocolate cake she would grease the pan and dust it with cocoa powder,that too worked wonderful, it was full proof. After thought: my moms no longer with us,though she LOVED you (she was a huge fan of the gooey pumpkin bars,and the corn casserole…FYI)
Another lovely recipe, Paula. I have absolutely loved this series, since the beginning of the pandemic. Just a note - Maybe Teresa should hold her comments for the end of the video. Her interjections make it difficult to understand you. Eddie is fine, though...
I absolutely love your recipes Paula. But I get frustrated because it seems like there's always one ingredient that you don't give the amount. Unless I missed something you didn't say how much milk or Vanilla goes into the actual cake recipe. The Vanilla you can figure a teaspoon but how much milk? It looked to me like a 2 cup measuring cup full but who knows for sure??😒
What do y'all think-would you prefer it frosted or unfrosted?
Unfrosted
Unfrosted
Frosted!!!
Either!!!
Both ways!

Such a sweet story..❤Amen!
PLEASE please do the ribs from your restaurant in Branson, MO!!!! THEY ARE AMAZING!!!
That cake looks beautiful I'd have to have a cup of coffee with that
Definitely going to make this. Thank you Paula.
You know, Paula, it’s just amazing to me that after all these years watching and following you that I still find new recipes to add to my collection of favorites from you and your family. You are a treasure!
I added some instant coffee powder to the recipe when I made this,I think it inhances the chocolat
It was delish…! Thanks Paula !
My mom used a similar chocolate pound cake recipe in her catering business many years ago. I don't think she did any other "flavor" of cake for the grooms cake. It was the one everyone loved and requested!
It is such a beautiful cake , i think a chocolate ganache would be pretty and yummy on it too !

Going to add 1/2 c semi sweet chips to this no frosting. 😋
That sounds good too!
Looks good. I will be trying it soon. Thanks for sharing. I am going to make your strawberry cake for Easter.
I gained 5 lbs. just watching this. ❤to Paula, Michael, and all y’all.
Looks delicious.
Similar to one I used to make.
Paula, you are one of the best chefs! My family loves your recipes, and we will be sure to make this one for our chocolate loving daughter ❤️ 💕 💖

Chocolate is my thing.

Looks Delightful Id Try It🥰😋
Good morning. I'd love to make this!
Sound is not good on your site

Looks absolutely delicious.
Beautiful!!!!
I’ve been on a pound cake baking kick lately, but haven’t done any chocolate ones yet. I will try this one, looks delicious and I like the nuts on top 😊
Looks delicious. Do you mean parchment paper, not wax paper?
Please, please , please get your mixing bowls with the stripes back in stock 😃😃😃

I have made whipping cream pound cake and other similar ones, but never thought to use chocolate frosting. Thanks for the idea! 😊
❤ Looks So Good
Good morning, everyone.
I've been watching you cook since Food Network. I've missed seeing you cook. Now I will continue where we started off at. Thanks for coming back..
Yum!!!
I want a slice!
Sometimes If you wait a little too long to take the cake out of the pan it can stick also. What I do is put the pan back into the oven at the temp you baked it at for a couple of minutes and it usually pops right out. ❤
YUM!!
Hey Paula I love your videos
i would just do pound cake with coffee
the icing makes it a dessert i think 😂
Thanks for your share i will stay connected
Good morning Ms.Paula! It looks delicious 😋. Thank you for sharing your recipe with us. Have a wonderful weekend.
I'm curious why some recipes want the eggs added one at a time. What would happen if they were all added together? I've never had chocolate pound cake before.
I cannot say why, but all the pound cakes I’ve ever made (and I’ve made many), called for the eggs to be added in one at a time, beating just until each are incorporated.
@Lois Daniel Thank you for your response to my question. Does Paula ever answer any questions?
@@cleopatra4473, honey, I don’t think so😃.
Looks delicious! How do you stay so thin eating cake like this?
When you went to make icing for pound cake the cake looks like you flipped the cake over again. How did you do that without the cake falling apart.
we dont use shortenin. can lard be used instead? or just more butter
I would just use straight butter
❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
How long do I have to pre order the. Book? Is there a. Cut off date?
Which book are you talking about? If it is Paula’s Brother’s Book then it is sold on Amazon and there is no cut off date. The same with Paula’s Books. Amazon has them or you can make a trip to Savannah, Georgia and purchase the books she has available there. The fastest way is Amazon
Also, if you didn’t know already… Paula’s Brother Passed Away so, there is not another cookbook from him and this is the only one I know he put out.
Is tha dark chocolate cocoa or just chocolate cocoa ?
🌺🐾❤️🌺🐾❤️
You choose that pan over loaf pan?
Why do you have to alternate the flour and milk?
How do I get the recipe
Why do you alternate the floue and milk
Paula, not to give you tips,as everything you make is wonderful.
Pam spray makes a spray with flour in the spray,and it’s 💯 nothing ever sticks when you use this cooking spray…(just a suggestion)
When my mom baked a chocolate cake she would grease the pan and dust it with cocoa powder,that too worked wonderful, it was full proof.
After thought: my moms no longer with us,though she LOVED you (she was a huge fan of the gooey pumpkin bars,and the corn casserole…FYI)
❤ Why Not Just Use A Bun Pan
Unfrosted. With 3 cups of sugar in the cake, I'll be bouncing off the walls for sure. Thanks for the recipe.
Why use shortening at all rather than JUST butter -- would be much healthier without shortening.
Another lovely recipe, Paula. I have absolutely loved this series, since the beginning of the pandemic. Just a note - Maybe Teresa should hold her comments for the end of the video. Her interjections make it difficult to understand you. Eddie is fine, though...
What does the how do you spell spatula ?
I’ve always wondered why she doesn’t use a stand mixer, like all the other RUclips chefs....but I’m kinda glad she doesn’t.
Sound is very bad on your program
Seemed ok to me
I’m a big kitchen like that it echos but we we can hear just fine.
I absolutely love your recipes Paula. But I get frustrated because it seems like there's always one ingredient that you don't give the amount. Unless I missed something you didn't say how much milk or Vanilla goes into the actual cake recipe. The Vanilla you can figure a teaspoon but how much milk? It looked to me like a 2 cup measuring cup full but who knows for sure??😒
The recipe calls for 1 cup.
The recipe is always attached 😃❤️
1-Cup of buttermilk and 1-Tablespoon of vanilla
@@brendah4773 Thank you!
@@angelatroutman7128 Thank you!
Sounds like someone was vacuuming or something the audio is bad
SOUND PROBLEMS,!! OMG, WHAT DID YOU DO?? .
Is there a fireplace in kitchen?...
haoll
You should definitely wash your hands..you wiped your eyes!!!!😮
You licked your thumb, I hope no one eats that but you!!
This would make a great YTP @YTPewp
