John Glenn Cake (Chocolate Pound Cake)...or so it's known in our home...

I finally got my hands on the recipe for this cake again...My husband LOVES this cake and apparently so does John Glenn, yeah THE John Glenn...my husband typically eats this cake for his birthday. 
A few things to keep in mind when making this cake...
1. A large TUBE PAN is a MUST
2. 2 cups of MIRACLE WHIP is also a MUST
3. It is a very dense, moist, chocolate pound cake, meant to be sliced THIN...ummm, its CAKE, wedge it up and work out later!


JOHN GLENN CAKE
(Chocolate Pound Cake)
  1. 4 Cups of All Purpose Flour
  2. 2 Cups of Sugar
  3. 4 Tsp. of Baking Soda
  4. 1 Tsp. of Salt
  5. 8 Tablespoons of Cocoa 
MIX all of the above
  1. 2 Cups of cold water
  2. 2 Cups of MIRACLE WHIP
  3. 2 Tsp. of Vanilla
Once items 7,8 & 9 are mixed with the first 5 items grease the tube pan and bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees
Top with Cool Whip as if you are icing the cake (I make homemade whipped cream flavored with liquor (SMILES) but I am thinking of making a vanilla or chocolate buttercream icing to mix it up, how daring of me haha )

Enjoy!!!
