Chocolate Pound Cake Recipe

by Mary A. Mitchell

The standard pound cake has come a long way from its pound-of-this, pound-of-that days. Of its many incarnations, the yummiest is a rare discovery among my grandmother’s recipes. The first time I took it to a party, the cake immediately disappeared. Recipe requests followed.
Although I am sure my grandmother used Crisco or a cholesterol- and hydrogenated-fat-laden solid oil, I like to use canola oil in most of my baking. The cake’s texture does not suffer for the substitution. Those concerned about excessive fat can also use low-fat milk.
