Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 4 ounces dark chocolate (chopped, for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan with butter or nonstick spray. Lightly dust with flour and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined, avoiding overmixing.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

To prepare the chocolate glaze, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.

Step 11

Once the cake has fully cooled, drizzle the chocolate glaze over the top, letting it drip down the sides.

Step 12

Let the glaze set for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Triple Chocolate Pound Cake!
