Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound salted butter (4 sticks), room temperature
3 cups granulated sugar
6 eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla (or 1 teaspoon vanilla + 1 teaspoon almond or coconut extract)
4 cups all purpose Bob's Red Mill Unbleached White All Purpose Flour
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup honey
2 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300°F. Coat a 10- inch (10 - 15 cup) bundt pan liberally with nonstick spray. Alternately you can coat the pan with butter/shortening and dust it with flour or powdered sugar, tapping off excess. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment mix the butter and sugar together on medium speed for 3 minutes, until fluffy and pale in color. Add in the eggs and extract(s), mixing for 1 minute until smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
  • Turn mixer to low and add in the flour and buttermilk in alternating portions until just combined, beginning and ending with the flour.
  • Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 20 minutes, and then invert the pan onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • To prepare the frosting, in the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the butter and honey together on medium speed for 1 minute, until smooth. Turn the mixer to low and slowly add in the powdered sugar. Once it's all added in, turn the mixer up to medium and beat for 30 seconds until creamy and smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
  • Spread or pipe the frosting onto the top of the cooled cake. Top with berries if desired.

MILLION DOLLAR POUND CAKE



Million Dollar Pound Cake image

Looking for a classic pound cake? This one won't fail.

Provided by Southern Living Editors

Categories     Cakes

Yield Makes 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound butter, softened
3 cups sugar
6 large eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. (The butter will become a lighter yellow color; this is an important step, as the job of the mixer is to incorporate air into the butter so the cake will rise. It will take 1 to 7 minutes, depending on the power of your mixer.) Gradually add sugar, beating at medium speed until light and fluffy. (Again, the times will vary, and butter will turn to a fluffy white.) Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until yellow yolk disappears.
  • Add flour to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour. Beat at low speed just until blended after each addition. (The batter should be smooth and bits of flour should be well incorporated; to rid batter of lumps, stir gently with a rubber spatula.) Stir in extracts.
  • Pour into a greased and floured 10-inch tube pan. (Use vegetable shortening or butter to grease the pan, getting every nook and cranny covered. Sprinkle a light coating of flour over the greased surface.)
  • Bake at 300°F for 1 hour and 40 minutes or until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from pan, and cool completely on a wire rack.

MILLIONAIRE'S CAKE



Millionaire's Cake image

This cake is more of a layered torte, than a frosted cake. It is kept in the refrigerator and is very delicious. I have been making this cake for many years and recently made it for my nephew's 24th birthday. It is his favorite.

Carefully spread thawed frozen whipped topping over all. Sprinkle chopped walnuts over all. Refrigerate. Enjoy!

Time 9h55m

Tips:

  • Use the right ingredients: Ensure all ingredients are measured accurately, fresh, and of good quality. For the best results, use unsalted butter and bring it to room temperature before baking.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together thoroughly: This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a light and fluffy cake. Cream the butter and sugar until it is pale yellow and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time: Beat each egg into the batter until well combined before adding the next. Gradually adding the eggs helps prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Mix in the dry ingredients gradually: Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together before adding it to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can result in a tough cake.
  • Bake at the right temperature: Follow the recipe's recommended baking temperature and time to ensure the cake bakes evenly and doesn't overcook. Use a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake to check for doneness. The toothpick should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.

Conclusion:

The Millionaire Pound Cake is a decadent dessert that is sure to impress. With its rich, buttery flavor and moist texture, this cake is perfect for special occasions or as a luxurious everyday treat. The combination of vanilla, caramel, and pecan flavors makes this cake truly unique and unforgettable. Follow these tips to ensure your Millionaire Pound Cake turns out perfectly every time.
