Chocolate Pound Cake (Gâteaux De Voyage Au Chocolat)

By Rumblingtummy @RumblingTummi
Craving for cake so I bake this Chocolate Pound Cake (Gâteaux De Voyage Au Chocolat) to bring to a party to share and get to eat too.  
These days, only by doing so do I get to eat and not eat too much.  Sharing is a joy.
I chose this cake because it is different from the traditional pound cake and also the method is really interesting.
Learning: The batter is very thick before the meringue incorporates so the folding is a little tricky.
