i used 3/4 a cup of cocoa and it has a nice taste to it. But i was too full for my pan and rose until it was almost touching the top of the oven.

My husband has sweet memories of his aunt's Chocolate Pound Cake, and was ecstatic to find the original, hand-written recipe tucked into an old Southern cookbook. Unfortunately, the directions were vague and the result did not live up to the memory. We tried others, but this is the best, and by far the easiest to make. Perfect texture: firm but light, just moist enough, sweet but not too sweet. Delicate dusting of confectioner's sugar...yes we will be making this again.

this is a good cake, but not very chocolaty..i had to make some adjustments, as i didn't have enough butter, so i used a half cup butter and a half cup "Parkay" i also used buttermilk instead of regular milk (all i had on hand) and used 1/3 c cocoa.. it's light and nice.. but with a subtle chocolate flavor. i would make this again. i used my Wilton 3-D Cruiser pan... came out nice. more than enough cake batter...

Everyone loved this who tried it. I did the 1/2 cup of cocoa as others had mentioned. I used unsalted butter and though it was lacking some depth I was looking for. Will try salted butter and see what happens. The cake is gone, I like the denseness of it but it was still light at the same time. Maybe some mini chocolate chip stirred in will give it what I was looking for. Great recipe though, simple. Will definitely make again.

This was so good! I added double the cocoa and it was PERFECT! I didn't put the powdered sugar on top, either. It was yummy just how I made it! Thanks!

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.

It turned out good; a little dry and not as chocolate-y than I wanted though, but good none the less. I may try adding 1/2 or 3/4s a cup of cocoa next time I make it.

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.
