Chocolate Peppermint Pound Cae Recipe


Chocolate Peppermint Pound Cae Recipe
This is an incredibly moist and incredibly tasty pound cake. It's good warm or at room temperature. I usually serve it with chocolate mint ice cream. Well loved by all.

This sounds really good. I don't have the butter or chocolate extract so I'll have to make it without. Hopefully it turns out.


Another winner, Chefmeow! Thank you for the recipe! This one will definitely be on the holiday table this year with a nice fudge sauce or gananche over it!
