In reply to Lisa Santos. Use cocoa powder for the cake and Baker’s chocolate for the icing.

What kind of chocolate and how much? I really want to make this but I don’t know what kind or how much I would greatly appreciate it. A square of bakers chocolate or like a flat chocolate bar? Help and thank you for the delicious recipe

Good Day, Connie Bolick Lee.
Me too.
This cake recipe sounds so delish and it’s got my taste buds screaming at me to make this cake, lol.
I am going to make this delicious cake asap.
I have a question, I’ve never used oleo before and where do I need to look for oleo in the grocery store?
I greatly appreciate any tips, advice and where to find the oleo.
I thank You in advance for anything you can advise me on.
Happy Baking!

In reply to Mary Davis. Mary, Just start testing the cake for doneness at about 75 minutes. It's done when a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

I want to make this cake but I am not an expert cook and the time to bake it varies so much. I both an angel food cake pan and a bundt cake pan. My oven seems to bake well with othr things. So the 80 minutes should be ok? I have a young person who wants a chocolate birthday cake and this would be so good for that. I use my mom’s vintage cake pedestal for all the cakes I bake.

Nicole,

My fondness for sweets extends well beyond a tooth, too. I say I have a sweet head. I hope your husband enjoys the cake. 🙂

It’s people like you that make people like me keep my weight down. Lol….. But you know the remedy for that ? You bake this cake , you eat one slice ( with that coldddd milk ) then you give the rest of it away, with tears in your eyes. Can’t wait to cry. :))

Cathy,

I tell people about your newly minted word “recipastories”. I just love it! Thanks for being so sweet and kind to me.

As I often do when I read your recipastories, I started to crave, I laughed and I cried! My paternal Grandmother wrote recipes just like this only she usually left out an ingredient and we all had to guess what it was and how much! Thank you so much for sharing and please never stop “feeding” our tummies, minds and hearts!!!!

This sounds wonderful! I am a true chocoholic so this would be a perfect dessert for me…including the ice cold milk in the canning jar. 🙂
Recipes passed down from generation to generation are so special. I’m sure you will treasure this one forever.

In reply to Kathy.

Kathy,

If you’ve had good luck with pound cakes in cake pans, there’s no reason you can’t use the same pans for this recipe. The batter for pound cakes is so dense that a tube pan is necessary to cook the middle and outsides at the same time when the all the batter is baked in one pan.

Kathy — Wed, 09 Oct 2013 15:13:24 +0000

Is a tube pan necessary, or can pound cake be baked in regular cake pans?

In reply to Wanda Jackson. Wanda, I'd use half a stick.
