Chocolate Pound Cake instructions

1. Youtu.be/kSmENw547Mw.
2. Heat milk, instant coffee, and chocolate until fully melted and combine. Set aside to cool..
3. Using a hand mixer or simply a hand-whisk, cream the butter for 1 minute until fully-softened. Add sugar and beat until fluffy and lightened in color. Frequently scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl with silicone spatula..
4. Lightly beat the eggs in a separate bowl. Then add them into the butter mixture in 3 additions. Mix just until combined after every addition. If we add all eggs at once, both of these high-fat ingredients might not combine but end up separating..
5. Add all of the dry ingredients. Make sure to sieve the flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder, as they tend to clump. Mix until 90% combined..
6. Add the melted chocolate. Mix just until combined. Do not overmix because we do not want to develop the gluten too much which will result in a tough cake..
7. Transfer into a loaf pan that has been fully coated with butter. This will help release the cake easily..
8. Spread up the batter to both ends of the pan. Pipe a line of softened butter along the center lengthwise. These steps are optional, but they will help create an evenly-centered crack..
9. Bake in a preheated oven at 340°F (170°C) for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean..
10. Run a spatula between the cake and the pan. Remove the cake from its pan immediately after baking to prevent from shrinking. Let cool on the cooling rack. With a sifter, dust icing sugar across its top before serving (optional)..
