Enjoy a slice of Chocolate Hazelnut Pound Cake topped with Vanilla Whipped Cream and Fresh Berries. This bread is perfect for dessert or breakfast.

I made this delicious pound cake to serve for breakfast at an adult slumber party. It was a huge hit with all of my friends.
This pound cake is intensely chocolate with a subtle hint of hazelnut flavor. It is incredibly rich and it pairs beautifully with homemade vanilla whipped cream and fresh berries.
My friends really enjoyed this chocolate dessert and I loved that it was really simple to make.

My food table was festively decorated for my party. I serve the chocolate bread with berries and whipped cream as well as a French Toast bake.
The pound cake and the whipped cream were flavored using coffee creamer. I love using flavored creamers to enhance my desserts.

It was such a fun party theme. I loved that my friends really got into it and all dressed in the pajamas. Some even stopped to get a movie and got out of the car in their p.j.'s and got some funny looks, but they thought it was a blast.
