How To Make Chocolate Pound Cake

From Scratch

2 Cups of sugar
1 Cups of butter (2 Sticks) (no substitute)
4 Large eggs
1 and 1/4 cup of hershey's chocolate syrup
6 and 1/8 ounces of Hershey chocolate bar (a large bar), melted (in a pot or pan most effective.)
2 and 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of buttermilk (substitute = 1 tablespoon of vinegar added to 1 cup of evaporated milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Preset oven to 350 degrees F

Cream sugar and butter well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each.
Make sure to avoid over beating. Add chocolate syrup and melted chocolate bar.

In a seperate bowl combine flour and salt.

In another bowl mix together buttermild, vanilla and baking soda.

Add flour mixture alternately with buttermilk mixture to chocolate mixture,
beginning and ending with flour mixture.

Pour batter into greased and floured large tube cake pan or bundt pan.
You can use non-flavored cooking spray instead. Back for about 1 hour
and 15 to 20 minutes but make sure to test after 1 hour. Also if you dont
have bundt pan or large enough pan to fit all the mix and can only fit it into
two sperate pans make sure to check the cake Periodically.

Let cool and then you can either take it out of the pan or leave it in.
It's your choice.
