Time 1h40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter at room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 extra-large eggs at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups sour cream
2 1/2 cups cake flour (not self-rising)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3/4 cup chopped walnuts, optional
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons real maple syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
  • Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment for 4 to 5 minutes, until light. Add the eggs 1 at a time, then add the vanilla and sour cream. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture to the batter until just combined. Finish stirring with a spatula to be sure the batter is completely mixed.
  • For the streusel, place the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and butter in a bowl and pinch together with your fingers until it forms a crumble. Mix in the walnuts, if desired.
  • Spoon half the batter into the pan and spread it out with a knife. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup streusel. Spoon the rest of the batter in the pan, spread it out, and scatter the remaining streusel on top. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean.
  • Let cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes. Carefully transfer the cake, streusel side up, onto a serving plate. Whisk the confectioners' sugar and maple syrup together, adding a few drops of water if necessary, to make the glaze runny. Drizzle as much as you like over the cake with a fork or spoon.

SOUR CREAM POUND CAKE



Sour Cream Pound Cake image

The original pound cake appeared in America's first cookbook and was made with one pound each of butter, sugar, eggs and flour. Now that's a lot of cake! Vintage recipes also suggest separating egg yolks from whites and whipping the whites to stiff peaks before folding them into the cake batter. We tested and didn't feel this extra effort was worth the pay-off. We've scaled down the ingredients and the work involved to make a showpiece cake that is perfect for your next family gathering. The key is the sour cream, which balances the sweetness and ensures your cake remains soft for days! This pound cake is moist, dense and dangerously buttery.

Time 2h30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
Confectioners' sugar, for serving
Fresh berries, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a coated 10- to 14-cup Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray and dust with flour, making sure to coat all the details of the pan. Invert the pan and shake out any excess.
  • Add the butter to a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until fluffy, about 1 minute. Add the granulated sugar and beat on medium-high speed until very light and fluffy, about 4 minutes more. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Add the sour cream and vanilla and mix on medium speed until incorporated.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Add to the butter mixture in 2 parts and mix on low speed until just incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, using a rubber spatula to smooth the top into an even layer.
  • Bake until golden brown and crackly on the surface and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out almost clean with just a few crumbs, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 20 minutes. Invert onto a cooling rack and cool completely before removing the pan. The cake will contract while it cools, making it easier to remove.
  • Sprinkle the cake with confectioners' sugar. Top each slice with fresh berries if using.

Simple and delicious. This is great served with fresh whipped cream and strawberries (or any fresh fruit). I also like to drizzle mine with lavender honey. But truthfully, it's terrific plain too. Great for school or church bake sales.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients, as they will blend together more easily and create a smoother batter.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients gradually, until just combined. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Test the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting or serving. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
