Now that I've retired from teaching, I have more time to bake. This buttermilk pound cake is the one I make most often. It is a truly southern recipe, and one I think can't be topped-once people taste it, they won't go back to their other recipes with buttermilk. -Gracie Hanchey, De Ridder, Louisiana

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.

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.

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.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the cake batter come together more smoothly and evenly.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will incorporate air into the batter and help the cake rise.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the cake from curdling.
  • Sift the flour and baking powder together before adding them to the batter. This will help ensure that the cake is light and airy.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake rise evenly.
  • Check the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
