Chocolate Sour Cream Pound Cake
   Author: Melissa Sperka
   Serves: 12 slices
 Ingredients
 - 2 cup all-purpose flour
 - 1 [3.4] oz chocolate fudge instant pudding mix
 - ¾ cup dutch process cocoa [i.e. Hershey's Special Dark]
 - ½ tsp salt
 - 1 tsp baking powder
 - ¼ tsp baking soda
 - 1 cup butter, softened
 - 1 cup brown sugar
 - ¾ cup granulated sugar
 - 1½ tsp pure vanilla extract
 - ½ tsp pure almond extract
 - 4 large eggs
 - 8 oz sour cream
 - Glaze:
 - 1 cup milk chocolate chips
 - ⅓ cup heavy cream
 - 2 Tbsp dark corn syrup
 - ¼ tsp pure almond extract
  
Instructions
 - Preheat the oven to 325°F. Spritz a 9 x 5 x 4 inch loaf pan with baking spray or butter and flour. Sift together the flour, pudding mix, cocoa, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside.
 - In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar with the vanilla and almond extracts.
 - Beat for 3 minutes until creamy and light beige in color. Add the eggs one at a time beating well after each addition.
 - Add the sifted dry ingredients alternately with the sour cream. Beat on medium speed until combined.
 - After all of the ingredients are added, increase the mixer speed and beat just until fully combined. The batter will be stiff.
 - Spread evenly into the loaf pan. Bounce on the counter a couple of times to settle the batter in the pan.
 - Move the oven rack to the bottom ⅓ of the oven. Bake for 1 hour 20-25 minutes or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes back with moist crumbs.
 - Cool completely. Wrap tightly and store overnight. [The flavor of the cake intensifies after resting]
 - To make the glaze, melt the milk chocolate chips and heavy cream in the microwave on 50% power stopping to stir every 20 seconds. Repeat until smooth, then mix in the corn syrup and almond extract. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
