CHOCOLATE-CHOCOLATE CHIP POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Make the pound cake: Preheat the oven to 350˚. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan, then line with parchment paper in two overlapping strips, leaving an overhang. Butter the parchment and lightly dust with flour, tapping out the excess.
• Microwave the heavy cream in a small microwave-safe bowl until steaming, about 1 minute. Pour over the cocoa powder in a medium bowl and stir to make a thick smooth paste; let cool.
• Whisk the eggs, egg yolk and vanilla in a medium bowl until frothy; set aside. Beat the butter and cane sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until well combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Scrape down the bowl and increase the mixer speed to medium high. Beat until pale and fluffy, 6 to 7 minutes.
• Add the cocoa mixture to the butter mixture; beat until well combined, 1 minute. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour until just combined. Gradually add the egg mixture and beat until combined. Scrape down the bowl, increase the speed to medium and beat until smooth and fluffy, about 30 seconds. Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake until the top springs back when gently pressed and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool 10 to 15 minutes in the pan. Lift the cake from the pan and remove the parchment; return the cake to the rack to cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar just before serving.

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray three 6-inch cake pans with cooking spray. Line each pan with parchment paper rounds. Spray the parchment paper and dust cocoa powder over the pan and paper. Tap the pan over a sink or trash can to get rid of excess powder.
• Whisk together the cake mix, pudding mix, water, oil and sour cream in large bowl. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking until full incorporated after each addition. Toss the chocolate chips with the cocoa powder in a small bowl. Fold the chocolate chips into the batter.
• Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Allow to cool in the pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then turn the cakes over onto the wire rack to cool completely.
• For the chocolate buttercream frosting: Add the butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and stir on low speed until combined. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar alternating with the milk until incorporated. Gradually add the cocoa powder, salt and melted chocolate and mix until combined. Add to a large piping bag and tie off with a rubber band.
• Place the first cake layer on a 6-inch cardboard round and place on a rotating cake stand. Pipe a layer of about 1/2 cup buttercream on top and use an offset spatula to spread into an even layer. Place the second cake layer on top of the buttercream and pipe another 1/2 cup buttercream on top. Spread into an even layer, then top with the third cake layer.
• To apply a crumb coat, pipe about 2 cups buttercream on the top and sides of the cake and use an offset spatula or bench scraper to make smooth. Remove excess buttercream and scrape into a bowl. Transfer the cake to the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes.
• Remove the chilled cake from the refrigerator. Pipe about 2 tablespoons buttercream onto the center of a 12-inch cake drum or plate; this will help hold the cake in place while you frost. Place the cake drum on a rotating cake stand. Place the cake on top of the buttercream.
• Pipe 2 to 3 cups buttercream up the sides and top of your cake, smoothing the edges with a bench scraper. Scrape excess buttercream into a bowl to keep the bench scraper clean.
