White chocolate pound cake

by Andrea Gámez

This white chocolate pound cake impressed me. It is a delicious pound cake that calls for white chocolate in the mixture. This makes the pound cake rich and decadent. It also makes it have a sweetness underneath, that is noticeable at the end in the mouth, when eating it, which tastes very good.

It is a type of sweetness different from sugar or any other type of sweetener, because it comes from the cocoa butter in the white chocolate. It gives a richness to the flavor and a lot more interest to the dessert as a whole. I’m usually a very controlled person when eating sweet things, because I’m used to having all kinds of desserts at home. So, I eat little by little, and only when I really crave it. Well in this case, I find myself wanting to eat this pound cake everytime I see it.

It is an easy dessert, because it is not too complicated to make, which we love. At the end, we sometimes add a little powdered sugar, just to decorate it, because it is not really needed at all.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 C (7.93 oz) (225 gr) unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1 2/3 C (11.80 oz) (333 gr) azucar blanco
  • 5 eggs, large
  • 2 tsp (0.34 fl oz) (10 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp (0.08 fl oz) (2.5 ml) almond extract (optional)
  • 3/4 C (6.35 oz) (180 gr) sour cream
  • 1/2 C (4 fl oz) (120 ml) whole milk
  • 170 gr white chocolate
  • 3 C (13.75 oz) (390 gr) all purpouse flour
  • 1 tsp (0.18 oz) (5 gr) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp (0.088 oz) (2.5 gr) baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp (0.088 oz) (2.5 gr) salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 356º F (180° C). Grease and line a round baking pan (or bundt cake pan) of approximately 9.85 inches (25 cm) in diameter with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together the flour with baking powder, baking soda and salt. Separately, cut very small or grate 1/3 part (57 gr) of the white chocolate and set aside in the refrigerator until needed.
  • Melt 2/3 (3.98 oz) (113 g) of the white chocolate, which can be done in two ways. The first is in a double boiler, placing a medium saucepan with plenty of water over medium heat. Then, add the chocolate to a large heat-resistant bowl and place it on top of the pot with water (without touching the water) so that it melts with the steam.
  • The second is in the microwave, adding the chocolate to a large microwave-safe bowl and then melting it for 30-second intervals, i.e., put the bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds and take it out after this time to mix a little with a fork. Repeat the process until the chocolate is completely melted.
  • In a large bowl, add the butter with the sugar and beat with a hand whisk or an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  • Beat with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes until you get a lighter and fluffier mixture. Add the eggs one at a time, beating for 30 seconds after each addition. Add the vanilla extract, almond extract, melted chocolate and beat until well blended. Add the sour cream and beat for 1 minute more until very smooth.
  • Add the flour mixture in 2 separate additions, alternating with the milk and beating after each addition. Beat for 20 seconds until smooth and homogeneous. Add the grated chocolate and mix with a rubber spatula just until incorporated.
  • Pour the mixture into the pan and spread it with the rubber spatula to make it uniform. Bake at 356º F (180° C) for about 50 minutes to 1 hour until a wooden toothpick comes out clean when inserted.
  • Once the pound cake is ready, take it out of the oven, let it rest for 10 minutes inside the pan and then turn it out and place it on a rack to cool for at least another 10 minutes.
