How To Serve Hershey Bar Pound Cake
This simple pound cake is a delicious treat on its own. The chocolate flavor isn’t too intense, making this a great snacking cake. I like to top it with a little whipped cream. You could make a simple chocolate glaze to drizzle over it, but it really doesn’t need it.
Ingredients Needed
- 8 (2.2-ounce) Hershey Bars– all the chocolate flavor comes from melted chocolate bars. No cocoa powder needed.
- 1 cup unsalted butter– you can use salted butter and add 1/4 teaspoon of salt instead of 1/2 teaspoon.
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 1/2 cups cake flour
- salt
- baking soda
- buttermilk
- vanilla extract
- chopped pecans– the nuts can be left out or substituted with walnuts.
Equipment Needed
- Electric Mixer- I prefer using a stand mixer for pound cakes, but a hand-held mixer can be used.
- Bundt Pan
- Baking Spray with Flour
