Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt) with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

In a medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder and hot coffee until the cocoa is fully dissolved. Stir in the warmed milk to thin and cool the mixture. Set aside. (5 minutes)

03

Step
3 mins

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside. (3 minutes)

04

Step
10 mins

In a large bowl, cream together the sugar, butter, and cream cheese with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the vanilla extract. Add the eggs and egg yolks, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. (10 minutes)

05

Step
8 mins

Gradually add half of the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, mixing until just incorporated. Stir in the cocoa-milk mixture, then mix in the remaining flour mixture until the batter is smooth and well blended. (5 minutes)

06

Step
2 mins

Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, spreading evenly. (2 minutes)

07

Step
1 hrs 30 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 70 to 90 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (70-90 minutes)

08

Step
20 mins

Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. (15 minutes)

For the best flavor, use a high-quality dark cocoa powder.
Ensure the butter and cream cheese are fully softened to prevent lumps in the batter.
Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added to prevent a tough cake.
If the cake is browning too quickly, tent it loosely with foil during the last 20 minutes of baking.
Serve slices plain, or dust with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.

    I had a little trouble getting the cake to release from the pan, even though I greased it well. Next time, I'll try using baking spray with flour.

  • Deshaun Torp

    This recipe is a keeper! Thank you for sharing.

  • Charles Oconner

    The coffee really enhances the chocolate flavor. I didn't think it would make such a difference!

  • Jessie Lemke

    I made this for a party and everyone raved about it!

  • Verner Huel

    My family devoured this cake in one day. I'll definitely be making it again soon!

  • Sarina Goldner

    I didn't have cream cheese on hand, so I used sour cream and it still turned out great.

  • Alysson Mayer

    This is the best pound cake I've ever made! So moist and chocolatey.

  • Kennith Gleichner

    Could I use a different type of flour? I only have bread flour.
