Apple and chocolate pound cake

Today’s recipe is for an amazing apple and chocolate pound cake. It’s a super quick and easy cake to prepare. It remains delicious even few days after bakinf thanks to the addition of many pieces of apples that make it sweet and moist. There is nothing better for the weekend than a piece of chocolate apple cake and a steamy cup of coffee or tea.

For this recipe I used gianduia chocolate that I combined with the crunchy and delicious toasted hazelnut coating. If you are not a great lover of gianduia chocolate you can use the dark or even the milk one and cover your pound cake with almonds, chocolate chips, toasted nuts or simply, at the end of the baking, with powdered sugar.
