I thought this pound cake was just okay. Maybe I expected a more chocolatey taste. It tasted like a regular pound cake... you really don't taste the chocolate. Also, it's a thick cake and not very sweet. I did add white icing to the top of mine.

I liked this recipe, but I love chocolate! So, I added 1/2 Cup of cocoa instead of 1/4 cup. Once I tried it, I felt that it needed more cocoa powder for a stronger chocolate flavor. This cake did come out very moist.
