Bisquick Chocolate Pound Cake Recipes

Pound cake is typically made with a pound of each of the four ingredients: flour, butter, eggs, and sugar. They are usually baked in a loaf or bundt pan and are sometimes sprinkled with powdered sugar, softly glazed, or iced. There are many variations of pound cakes with certain countries adding their own style and flair to the recipe. Flavoring such as vanilla or almond extract can be added, as well as certain ingredients such as cocoa and espresso powder to enhance and change the taste.

Chocolate Mint Pound Cake

My daughter loves anything mint flavored, and can’t wait for me to make this cake. I usually make a couple of these without the topping to store in the freezer, so I can have them on hand for the holidays. The topping is easy to prepare and can be added to the cake once it has thawed.
