The Billy Bob Pound Cake<\/strong><\/p>\n 1 cup butter (2 sticks), softened smoked bourbon sugar, if desired*<\/p>\n Preheat oven to 325*F. Butter and flour a bundt pan or two loaf pans and set aside.<\/p>\n Beat the butter and Crisco together. Add the sugar and cocoa. Add the eggs one at a time and beat well after each addition. Add vanilla. Add the flour in thirds to the egg mixture and alternate with the chocolate syrup and Crown Royal.<\/p>\n Pour batter into a prepared bundt pan or the two loaf pans. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto cake plate.<\/p>\n *if you wish to, you may dust the top with smoked bourbon sugar.
