How to make a Chocolate Pound cake :

• Preheat the oven to 350F (180C). Grease a loaf tin with butter.
• Place butter in a saucepan and melt over low heat. Slowly add sugar, cocoa powder and milk and stir to combine.
• Bring to a boil for a 1 minute and then close the heat.

 To make the Cocoa Syrup :

• To make the chocolate glaze for the top, place the chocolate pieces into a small bowl and
  add about ½ cup of the hot cocoa syrup. Stir continuously to melt the chocolate and keep it aside to cool down.
• While the cocoa syrup cools down slightly, separate the egg whites from the yolks and whip
  the egg whites until foamy and stiff peaks form.
• Incorporate the yolks one at a time. Then add flour, salt and baking powder to the cocoa.
• Gently fold the whipped whites into the mixture and divide the mixture evenly into the prepared pans.
• Bake for about 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
• Pour the reserved chocolate glaze on the top and decorate with nuts, if desired.
• Let it cool down completely before serving.
