Instructions
For the cake:
- Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter and flour a 9 x 5-inch metal loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the pound cake mix, cocoa powder, butter, mascarpone cheese, milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Increase the speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes until smooth and thick. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, until a cake tester inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes and invert onto a rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
For the glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar and cocoa powder. Add the vanilla and slowly whisk in 3 tablespoons water, or a little more as needed, until the mixture is thick. Spoon the glaze over the cake and serve.

I would love to make this pound cake but the measurement for the cocoa powder and whole milk for the cake is messed up. Would you please tell me the measurements for these ingredients? Thank you. I'm looking forward to serving this recipe. DebbieS
The measurement for the cocoa powder and whole milk for the cake is unreadable….
