Chocolate Pound Cake

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8 inch bundt pan with butter and dust with cocoa powder, shaking out excess.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, butter, cocoa powder, baking soda and 1 cup water. Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for 2 mins. Transfer to a large bowl. Let cool for 15 mins then beat in eggs and flour, mixing until combined. Transfer to prepared pan and bake for 30-35 mins, until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 mins then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
3. Meanwhile, for the chocolate glaze, melt chocolate and butter over low heat. Add powdered sugar and 2 tbsp water and mix until smooth. Set aside for 5 mins then pour over cake. Decorate with chocolate curls.
