Recipe - Chocolate-Sour Cream Poundcake

1 cup Butter, softened
1 cup Firmly packed brown sugar
2 One half cup All purpose flour
One half cup Cocoa
2 teaspoon Vanilla
2 cup Sugar
6 Large eggs
One fourth teaspoon Baking soda
8 ounce Sour cream
Powdered sugar (optional)

Beat butter at medium speed about 2 minutes. Gradually add sugar, beating
at medium speed for 57 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating just
until yellow disappears.

Combine flour, baking soda, and cocoa; add to creamed mixture alternately
with sour cream, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Mix at low speed
just until blended after each addition. Stir in vanilla. Spoon batter into
a greased and floured 10inch tube pan. Bake at 325F for 1 hour and 20
minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in
pan on a wire rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired.
