BUTTERNUT POUND CAKE

I love this cake. Makes your whole house smell wonderful. If you can't find butternut flavoring, you can also use vanilla-butternut or a combination of vanilla, butter and any nut flavoring of your choice. It is important that you bake this cake in a cold oven - do not preheat!

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your cake.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, which will make the cake lighter and more tender.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Sift the flour before adding it to the batter. This will help to ensure that the flour is evenly distributed and that the cake doesn't have any lumps.
  • Fold in the mashed butternut squash gently. Overmixing can toughen the cake.
  • Bake the cake at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. If the cake is underbaked, it will be gooey in the center. If it is overbaked, it will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Butter nut pound cake is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist, tender crumb and rich, buttery flavor, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try.
