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.
