Ingredients
Method
- 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.
