This Chocolate Ribbon Vanilla Pound Cake with Almonds recipe is dressed up with a ribbon of chocolate and almonds!

I Like Big Bundts, and I Cannot Lie. Yep, I went there, folks. But seriously, look at this Chocolate Ribbon Vanilla Pound Cake recipe with Almonds and tell me you’re not thinking the same thing. Do you have that song stuck in your head now? Oh good. Now you have a personal soundtrack to listen to as you dance your way into the kitchen and whip up this pound cake recipe! 

This is my new favorite vanilla pound cake recipe, and since I love vanilla, it’s my favorite bundt cake recipe EVER! This pound cake is so buttery (it better be because there’s 1 1/2 pounds of butter in this big, beautiful pound cake recipe)!

While this cake is buttery, it’s not greasy at all. So, consequently, something completely magical happens at the bottom of the pan with all of those almonds–they become almost candy-like as they bake into this pound cake.

First of all, let’s talk about that chocolate ribbon. Of course, you’d probably want the chocolate chips dispersed throughout this vanilla pound cake recipe but think again.

In addition to their flavor boost, the mini chocolate chips melt and become this fantastic ribbon surrounded by rich, buttery pound cake. As a result, it creates something extraordinary. Consequently, it’s something you don’t want to skip!

Let’s recap:

This pound cake recipe…

• is big
• buttery
• is coated in candy-like almonds
• has a chocolate ribbon running throughout

What’s not to love?

Cook’s Note:

• Butter is a MUST in this pound cake recipe, so no substitutions!
• If you don’t have cake flour in your pantry, whip up a recipe of my Cake Flour Substitute Recipe, and you’ll be good to go!
• This vanilla pound cake recipe stands on its own, so you don’t need to serve ice cream or whipped cream with it. However, I suggest serving it with a tall glass of milk!
• This pound cake recipe will serve 16, so it’s an excellent cake for bringing to pot lucks or large get-togethers!
