Whip the cream into soft peaks using an electric hand mixer on a medium-high setting. Shortcut: Use an already prepared topping like cool whip.
Once the chocolate is melted and cooled down a bit, spoon the whipped cream into the chocolate, and using a hand mixer on low continue to beat the mixture until all the whipped cream has been incorporated and you have a smooth chocolate mixture.
Spoon the chocolate over the soaked pound cake and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
