1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2

Grease a rectangular casserole dish with 1 tablespoon (14 grams) of butter.

3

Cut the chocolate pound cake into cubes and fill the baking dish about three-quarters full, using approximately 10 to 12 cups of cake cubes.

4

In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

5

Pour the egg mixture over the chocolate pound cake cubes, ensuring they are evenly soaked.

6

Sprinkle chocolate chips on top of the mixture.

7

Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until set and slightly puffed.

9

Remove from the oven and cover with the lid to retain heat and moisture until ready to serve.
