Chocolate Pound Cake

If you have ever made a regular pound cake, you know that the old-fashioned Pound Cake Recipe derived its name from having a pound of butter, granulated sugar, and flour. This one is no different, although to get the chocolate flavor, we added some Dutch-process cocoa powder.

The Dutch Process Cocoa Powder adds many flavors and gives a great balance when mixed in with the other ingredients. The result is a smooth and delicious piece of chocolate pound cake.

Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Chocolate Pound Cake

• All-Purpose Flour
• Dutch Process Cocoa Powder
• Baking powder
• Butter
• Granulated Sugar
• Milk
• Pure Vanilla Extract
• Eggs
• Salt
• Chocolate Chips

How To Make Air Fryer Chocolate Pound Cake

In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter and granulated sugar. Mix until fluffy. This will ensure that you get fluffy bread. Then mix in the eggs, add in one at a time, mix after each egg, mix in the vanilla extract.

In another large mixing bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Add in the milk, and mix again. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Spray your loaf pan with cooking spray, and then pour the batter into the prepared pan, filling 2/3 the way full. Set the pan into the air fryer, and set the temperature to 320 degrees F for 20 minutes. (air fryer setting)

When the time is up, place a toothpick in the pound cake, and check to see that the toothpick comes out clean. If not, add another 5 minutes.

CAN  YOU FREEZE AIR FRYER POUND CAKE?

Yes, absolutely, this is a great make-ahead and freezer-friendly recipe. To freeze, let it cool to room temperature. And then place it in saran wrap, then wrap it in foil.

This Pound Cake will last for about 1 to 2 months. To use from frozen, place the frozen bread onto the counter until it’s defrosted (it usually takes about 12 to 15 hours)

CAN I ADD NUTS OR CHOCOLATE CHIP?

Absulteuoy if you want to add in anything nuts or chocolate chips make a great add-in.

I would add about 1/2 cup of diced nuts or chocolate chips into the recipe.  Remember to mix well to distribute the chocolate chips or nuts throughout the bread. 

CAN I MAKE TWO LOAVES INSTEAD OF ONE?

This recipe will make about 3 mini-sized loaves or one regular size loaf. If you want to double or even trip this recipe, it will work the same. 

CAN I MAKE THE BATTER INTO MUFFINS?

Yes, if you want to make a great big batch of Air Fryer Pound Cake Muffins, add them into Air Fryer Safe Muffin Tins or Cups, about 3/4 the way full, and the bake time will be reduced to about 12 to 15 minutes. 

HOW SHOULD I STORE POUND CAKE?

This is a great item to place on your counter, and the pound cake should eat it within a few days. If you want it to stay longer, place it into an airtight container and place it into the refrigerator, it should last a week.

TIPS FOR THE BEST AIR FRYER POUND CAKE

• For best results, either use salted or unsalted butter. If you use salted butter, omit the salt from the ingredient list.
• Use Pure Vanilla Extract; it will really increase the flavor of the end product.
• Use Mini Pans, as many people try to use a regular size, and the middle does not cook up. For best results, use a mini loaf pan. 
• Remember to check the pound cake at the end of the cooking time, and as soon as it is done cooking (use a toothpick to check the center), remove it. You do not want an overbaked pound cake.
