Equipment

• Electric Blender

Ingredients

• 225 gms unsalted Butter softened room temperature
• 225 gms Fine Granulated sugar
• 4 Eggs
• 1 Tsp Vanilla essence
• 225 gms All Purpose Flour
• 2 Tsp Baking Powder
• ¼ Tsp Salt
• 2 Tbsp Milk
• 4 Tbsp Cocoa powder
• 4 Tbsp Hot Milk
• 1 Tsp instant Coffee

Instructions

• Bloom the Cocoa by mixing with Hot Milk. Add Instant Coffee to get a darker tint and to enhance the Chocolate flavor.
  
• Beat the Butter and Sugar till nicely creamed. Takes around 3minutes on low speed. Add the Eggs one at a time mixing for 30 secs for each egg. Add the vanilla extract. 
  
•  Sift the Flour, Baking powder and salt to the wet ingredients. Add Milk.
  
• Divide the batter. Add the cocoa mix to the remaining batter and beat till just incorporated.
  
• Transfer the cocoa and vanilla batter to piping bags for easy pouring to the tin. Alternate the batters and Layer them out. I used total 8 layers, 4 layers each of vanilla and chocolate.
  
• Bake in a Loaf Tin of 9 by 3.5inches at 180C for 60mins. Can be made in a round or square tin as well, baking time may vary.
  
• Allow to cool completely before demoulding it.
  
• Serve it warm. I always microwave the slices for a few seconds and they become very soft.

Notes

Tips:  Blooming the cocoa with hot milk or water is essential to keep the cocoa from sucking all the moisture from the batter. Adding coffee gives a darker tint and also enhances the cocoa taste.

Cream the butter and Sugar for atleast 3mins on low speed. It helps to give a tender crumb.

Keep watching after 50-55mins of baking time as the top can get burnt if kept even for a few mins longer. Slight cracks at the top is normal for a pound cake.

Do not overmix the batter while adding the dry ingredients.
