Categories     dessert

Time 1h40m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 ounces unsalted butter, cut into pieces and softened, plus 1 tablespoon
16 ounces cake flour, plus 2 tablespoons
16 ounces sugar
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup whole buttermilk, room temperature

Steps:

  • Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 375 degrees F.
  • Coat a 10-inch aluminum tube pan or 2 (9 by 5-inch) loaf pans with 1 tablespoon of butter and dust with 2 tablespoons of the flour.
  • Combine the remaining 12 ounces of butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer and cream for 6 minutes on medium speed, using the paddle attachment. Stop once to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. With the mixer running at lowest speed, add the eggs, 1 at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Again stopping once to scrape down the sides of the bowl. This will take approximately 1 1/2 minutes. Add the vanilla and salt and beat on medium speed for 30 seconds.
  • With the mixer on the lowest speed add the flour in 3 installments, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour, making sure each portion is fully incorporated before adding the next. After the final addition, beat the batter for 30 seconds on medium speed until almost smooth.
  • Scoop the batter into the prepared pan(s), dividing evenly if using 2 pans. Bake for 1 hour in a tube pan or in loaf pans, until the internal temperature reaches 210 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. The crust will be golden brown and spring back when pressed, but the crack around the center will appear moist.
  • Remove the cake from the oven to a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan(s) and cool on the rack for 10 minutes longer. Store the cake on the rack covered with a tea towel for up to 3 days.

CRUZE FARM BUTTERMILK POUNDCAKE



Cruze Farm Buttermilk Poundcake image

Strictly traditional poundcakes don't include any leavening - just one pound each of eggs, sugar, flour, and butter - which explains why they are often leaden and crumbly. This recipe has a touch of baking soda and a shot of buttermilk, which work together to lighten the crumb and give it moisture and tang. It's the perfect foil for summer berries and superb plain on its own. Buttermilk you can buy from local dairy farms may not be "real" buttermilk - which is the leftover liquid from churning cream into butter - but it will certainly be fresher and richer-tasting than supermarket brands.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield Serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup butter, plus more for greasing the pan
3 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour, plus more for flouring the pan
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup solid shortening
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup cultured buttermilk (see note)
Juice of 1 lemon, strained
2/3 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • Bring all the ingredients to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Grease and flour a bundt pan, tapping out excess flour.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda. In another medium bowl, whisk the sugar to break up clumps.
  • In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and shortening, stopping to scrape down the sides. Slowly drizzle in the sugar; cream the mixture well. Beat in the eggs one at a time, adding the next when the last has been incorporated. Mix in the vanilla. On low speed, mix in a third of the flour mixture until just combined. Add a third of the buttermilk, mixing until just combined. Repeat with the remaining flour and buttermilk. Add the lemon juice and mix to combine.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a cake tester inserted comes out clean, about 75 minutes. The top of the cake will be lightly browned, and the sides will shrink slightly from the pan. Cool for 20 minutes before inverting onto a cake platter.
  • Before serving, stir together the glaze ingredients and spoon over the top and sides of the cake. It's even better the next day.

Provided by The Fat Man

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 Cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups all-purpose flour, Sifted (White Lily, if available)
3 cups granulated sugar
2/3 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 lb unsalted butter, softened
5 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk (Whole Milk Buttermilk, preferably)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon butter flavoring
1/2 teaspoon almond flavoring

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour large bundt pan.
  • Spoon flour into measuring cup, add to sifter and when all 3 cups are added, sift.
  • Combine flour, sugar and baking soda in mixer bowl of standing mixer (hand-held OK if that is all you have) and mix on medium speed for 30 seconds.
  • In separate bowl, lightly beat eggs, then add buttermilk and flavorings and mix.
  • Add softened butter and 1/3 of wet mixture to dry ingredients, and mix on medium speed until ingredients are just moistened.
  • Scrape bowl down, then beat on high for 1 full minute, turning bowl several times and scraping down sides at least once.
  • Add remainder of wet ingredients in 2 additions, beating about 30 seconds after each addition.
  • Remove mixer bowl, scrape any batter off beaters into bowl, and with rubber spatula mix batter a few turns to insure that it is well mixed.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan, and firmly tap pan on counter top to pop any bubbles in the batter.
  • Place on middle rack of preheated oven and cook until done, about 50 minutes to 1 hour.
  • If cake bakes longer than 50 minutes, you can butter a piece of foil and lay on top to avoid overbrowning.
  • Don't fret if top splits in a circle concentric to the pan -- that is proper for this cake.
  • When done, remove to wire rack; cool for 5 minutes, then invert pan and remove (may need to loosen edges with thin knife).
  • Do not cover until cool.

LEMON & BUTTERMILK POUND CAKE



Lemon & buttermilk pound cake image

This buttermilk pound cake has a dense, moist crumb and bags of lemon flavour to cut through the richness. Make it for afternoon tea or for a summer picnic

Provided by Diana Henry

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 13

125g butter, plus extra for the tin
200g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
¼ tsp bicarbonate of soda
¼ tsp baking powder
200g golden caster sugar
4 lemons, finely zested (save a little for the top if you like)
2 large eggs, at room temperature, lightly beaten
100ml buttermilk, at room temperature
½ lemon, juiced
50g granulated sugar
2 large lemons, juiced (use the lemons you've zested)
150g icing sugar, sifted
2-3 tbsp lemon juice

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter and flour a loaf tin measuring 22 x 11 x 7cm. Sift the flour with a pinch of salt, bicarbonate of soda and baking powder. Beat the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, then add the lemon zest. Gradually add the eggs a little at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix the buttermilk with the lemon juice. Fold the flour mixture into the batter, alternating with the buttermilk and lemon mixture.
  • Scrape the batter into the loaf tin and bake for 40-45 mins, or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Leave to sit for 10 mins, then turn out onto a wire cooling rack with a tray underneath it. Set the cake the right way up.
  • To make the syrup, put the ingredients in a small saucepan and heat until the sugar has dissolved. Pierce the cake all over with a skewer then, while the cake is still warm, pour the syrup over slowly. Leave to cool.
  • Gradually add the lemon juice to the icing sugar and mix until just smooth. If runny, put in the fridge for about 10 mins - you don't want it to set, you just want it become a little firmer. Pour or spread the icing over the cake (the bits that drizzle down the side will be caught by the tray under the cooling rack). This icing won't set hard, but do leave it to set a little before serving.

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the cake batter come together more smoothly and evenly.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy: This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.
  • Gradually add the eggs: Adding the eggs one at a time will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help prevent the frosting from melting and running off the cake.

Buttermilk pound cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be dressed up or down to suit your needs. With its rich, buttery flavor and moist, tender texture, buttermilk pound cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
