The first time I used this recipe it was for a bake sale we gave while I was in high school in 1975. Since then I have not found a pound cake recipe I like any better! Serve hot with butter, or cooled with strawberries and whipped cream.

Category: Cakes & Frosting
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

1 bar Baker's German Sweet chocolate
1 c. shortening
2 tsp. vanilla
3 c. plain flour, sifted
1 tsp. salt, or less
2 c. sugar
4 eggs
1 c. buttermilk
1/2 tsp. baking soda

Partially melt chocolate in double boiler. Remove and stir rapidly until melted completely. Cool. Cream shortening and sugar together in large mixing bowl. Add eggs (one at a time) and flavoring. Blend in cooled chocolate and set aside.

In separate bowl sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Combine flour mixture to sugar mixture alternately with buttermilk. When all ingredients are combined and smooth, pour into a well-greased and floured 9-inch tube pan. Bake in a slow oven, 300°F, for about 1 1/2 hours. Remove from pan after ten minutes.
