GRANDMA'S ORIGINAL POUND CAKE

After resurrecting this recipe when Mom almost lost it, it's a long-time family favorite. Similar to many "old time" recipes but with many fewer eggs and separating and folding in the egg whites to lighten the texture. But this is NOT a dry cake, and so full of flavor it can stand alone on the plate! ENJOY!

  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making the cake light and airy.
  • Gradually add the eggs, one at a time: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to 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 to prevent the frosting from melting.
