TIPS FOR MAKING DREAMY CREAM CHEESE CHOCOLATE POUND CAKE:

Set the oven temperature to 325 F. Butter and flour in a pan.

Combine the cake flour, baking soda, and cocoa powder in a medium bowl. Whisking constantly, mix for 30 seconds, then set aside.

Add the softened butter and cream cheese to the mixing bowl of your blender. Mix until homogeneity. Add sugar slowly. Three minutes of mixing on medium speed. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition until the yolks disappear.

On low speed, add about half of the flour mixture. Slowly increase the speed to medium and then blend until incorporated.

Add vanilla and milk. After mixing on low speed, add the rest of the flour mixture. Just slowly, increase the mixing speed until everything is well combined. Never blend or mix at a speed higher than medium.

Stir into the prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out almost clean. Baking time may change, so check on the cake around the 1-hour mark and adjust as needed.

Place the pan on a cooling rack and let it cool for ten minutes. Tip the Bundt pan out by placing a cake board or cutting board on top of it.

For chocolate glaze

Heating time may vary; adjust as needed. Microwave for 20 seconds, stir for 5 seconds, and stir until smooth. Once the chocolate is almost completely melted, remove it and whisk until smooth.

Allow the frosting to cool to a suitable thickness to apply to the cake.

Chocolate frosting was poured over the cooled cake. The frosting can also be spooned into a piping bag with the tip cut off and piped onto the cake if you prefer a little more control.
