prepair mix by carefully measuring all mix ingredients and blending until uniform color is obtained. Package in a decorative food safe cello bag and tie closed with a pretty ribbon.
Attach a card with the following directions: Preheat oven to 300oF. Butter a loaf pan carefully and dust with mix. Cream butter until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla, beat until thoroughly blended. Add mix in 1/2 cup scoopfuls and fold then mix to incorporate. *add mix all at once and you could end up with a chocolate mushroom cloud of pound cake mix. Pour into prepared pan and bake approximately 90 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool 25 minutes in pan, remove from pan and finish cooling on rack. Dust lightly with powdered sugar and serve slices with fresh berries or other fruit and whipped cream or rich creamy yogurt. Best if eaten same day.
