Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Pound cake (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Slice the pound cake into 6 even slices and set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, unsalted butter, and granulated sugar.
Stir occasionally until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and add the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Whisk continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the sauce is smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Place the slices of pound cake on serving plates and pour the hot chocolate sauce generously over each slice.
Optional: Garnish with whipped cream, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or fresh berries for extra flair.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
