This is one of the best pound cakes I've ever tasted. It's simple to make, starting with a store bought mix. I often take one to work where it quickly disappears. I also use this recipe at Christmas time to make 6 small loaves for gifts, which take about 15 minutes less.

PAULA DEEN'S MAMA'S POUND CAKE



Paula Deen's Mama's Pound Cake image

"All southern women are brought up to be able to make several dishes. This is one of them. This is the same recipe that my Maw-Maw used. She served it plain with powdered sugar on top, with strawberries & homemade whipped cream. If you were lucky she would toast you a piece for breakfast, and you could have it with one of her homemade jam's or jellies."

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients for optimal blending and a smooth batter.
  • Cream butter and sugar thoroughly: This step incorporates air, resulting in a light and fluffy cake.
  • Add eggs one at a time: Gradually incorporating eggs prevents curdling and ensures a smooth batter.
  • Mix dry ingredients separately: This ensures even distribution and prevents overmixing the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can lead to a dense, tough cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This helps the cake rise evenly and prevents a sunken center.
  • Test the cake for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This prevents the frosting from melting and sliding off the cake.
