THE VERY BEST POUND CAKE



The Very Best Pound Cake image

I found this recipe in a church cookbook around 15 years ago and have been making it since. I never even thought about trying another pound cake recipe because I just don't think it gets any better than this. Make sure that you sift the flour into a measuring cup to total 4 cups. In other words; sift before measuring. I really don't know how much difference it would make but that's the way the recipe was written. And it is all purpose flour. The recipe in the cookbook didn't state what kind of flour so the first time I made it I used self rising. It rose beautifully and looked so pretty. For about a minute and a half. It fairly quickly deflated into a not so pretty mess.

1 pound salted butter (4 sticks), room temperature
3 cups granulated sugar
6 eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla (or 1 teaspoon vanilla + 1 teaspoon almond or coconut extract)
4 cups all purpose Bob's Red Mill Unbleached White All Purpose Flour
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup honey
2 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300°F. Coat a 10- inch (10 - 15 cup) bundt pan liberally with nonstick spray. Alternately you can coat the pan with butter/shortening and dust it with flour or powdered sugar, tapping off excess. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment mix the butter and sugar together on medium speed for 3 minutes, until fluffy and pale in color. Add in the eggs and extract(s), mixing for 1 minute until smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
  • Turn mixer to low and add in the flour and buttermilk in alternating portions until just combined, beginning and ending with the flour.
  • Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 20 minutes, and then invert the pan onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • To prepare the frosting, in the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the butter and honey together on medium speed for 1 minute, until smooth. Turn the mixer to low and slowly add in the powdered sugar. Once it's all added in, turn the mixer up to medium and beat for 30 seconds until creamy and smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
  • Spread or pipe the frosting onto the top of the cooled cake. Top with berries if desired.

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 pound(s) butter, room temperature
2 1/2 cup(s) sugar
6 - eggs, room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoon(s) vanilla
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
3 teaspoon(s) baking powder
3 cup(s) all-purpose flour
3/4 cup(s) milk, room temperature

Steps:

  • In a standing mixer, beat the butter and sugar.
  • Add eggs one at a time.
  • Add the vanilla.
  • In a bowl, combine the salt, baking powder, and flour.
  • Add the flour mixture and milk, alternately.
  • Beat for 20 minutes. (Note: I have only beaten for another 5-10 minutes and it's fine.)
  • Place batter in a greased and floured tube pan.
  • Place in cold oven and set temperature to 350 degrees. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Remove cake from oven very carefully and place it carefully where it can cool. You want to prevent it from dropping. Enjoy this easy to make, moist and yummy pound cake!

Tips:

  • To achieve a fine crumb, make sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.
  • Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the ingredients blend together more easily and create a smoother batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Do not open the oven door during baking. This can cause the cake to fall.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

To make the best pound cake ever, it is important to follow these tips and use high-quality ingredients. With a little practice, you will be able to make a delicious and moist pound cake that is perfect for any occasion.
