Best High Altitude Poppy Seed Pound Cake With Whipped Chocolate Frosting Recipes
HIGH-ALTITUDE CHOCOLATE CAKE
This moist chocolate cake never collapses, something I can't say for other cakes I've baked at high altitude! This cake has been tested at 9,000 feet and always turns out fluffy and moist! Frost this delicious layer cake with cream cheese vanilla bean frosting. Bailey's® buttercream or mocha frosting are also great choices.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- Place cocoa into a small bowl, pour coffee over top, and stir to combine. Set aside to cool.
- Combine sugar, yogurt, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add olive oil and mix to combine.
- Combine flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a large bowl; whisk until combined with no lumps remaining. Pour dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and beat until just mixed. Stir in the coffee mixture and pour batter into the prepared cake pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the center looks slightly wet but springs back lightly when touched, 25 to 35 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack and let cool, about 30 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, letting it fold over the sides for easier removal.
- To make the batter: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the ½ cup butter, cane sugar, almond flavor, and vanilla extract. Mix on low until no chunks of butter remain.
- Add the eggs and milk and mix on low until combined, scraping down the sides so there are no butter chunks.
- In a separate bowl, add the cake flour and sea salt, and whisk together. With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and continue to mix on low until you have a smooth batter. Add the poppy seeds and mix until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Grease the loaf pan well with canola oil cooking spray. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread out evenly. Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before removing.
- To make the icing: Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler. Remove from the heat. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the ¼ cup butter, powdered sugar, melted dark chocolate, and heavy whipping cream. Mix on low until combined, and then speed up the mixer to high for 1 minute or until light and fluffy.
- Spread the icing over the top of the cake.
- Store in an airtight container or a cake dome for up to 3 days.
- Gluten-Free Variation:
- Replace the cake flour with 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons (184 g) gluten-free flour blend and ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon (28 g) coconut flour.
