Chocolate Pound Cake

I have made a decision...no more bundt pan! { or tube pan, whichever you prefer }. I am not very bundt pan  savvy. Anything that is baked in it, never, ever comes out..literally.  Half of it always winds up in the pan. What am I doing wrong?!  I grease, flour, spray with the spray. Argh!  The good news is..it has tasted good. 

That's the important part, right?

This cake..very good despite my lack of talent getting it out of the pan.  Chocolaty goodness at it's best.
