Spelt and Chocolate Pound Cake

spelt_cake2Currently cooking out of Pure Dessert by Alice Medrich.

This recipe is a version of Medrich’s Kamut Pound Cake. I originally wanted to try the version with kamut flour, but I couldn’t find any. And since I still had a bag of spelt flour from the grains cookbook, I decided to go in that direction. Besides, this version had chocolate!

The cake almost didn’t make it into the oven; I was eating the batter by the spoonful. Unfortunately, the cake came out a bit on the dry side, but I find most pound cakes to be a bit dry. I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m betting this is fantastic toasted and would be perfect with tea or coffee.

One thought on “Spelt and Chocolate Pound Cake

  1. I have a pot of tea if you want to stop by and we can try this. I love pound cake… a lady at the farmer’s market sells lemon pound cake. How perfect is that? I made a white cake with white icing this past weekend. My mom said it was the best she’d ever had. Unfortunately, she had purchased the box mix so I couldn’t pretend I had learned it from your blog. I think she was just glad she didn’t have to make it! Are you stopping by today?
