Categories     dessert

Time 2h20m

Yield 8 to 10 slices of pound cake

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 sticks salted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the pan
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan
1 6-ounce container fresh raspberries
2 tablespoons seedless raspberry jam
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons organic cane sugar
3 large eggs, plus 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
1/4 cup plus 2 to 3 tablespoons heavy cream
1 1/8 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon pure almond extract
4 drops red gel food coloring
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
Crushed freeze-dried raspberries, for topping

Steps:

  • Make the pound cake: Preheat the oven to 350˚. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan, then line with parchment paper in two overlapping strips, leaving an overhang. Butter the parchment and lightly dust with flour, tapping out the excess.
  • Combine the fresh raspberries, jam, 2 tablespoons cane sugar and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring and smashing the berries with a wooden spoon, until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl, pressing with a rubber spatula. Let cool.
  • Whisk the eggs, egg yolk, 1/4 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 3/4 teaspoon almond extract in a medium bowl until slightly foamy; set aside. Beat the butter and remaining 1 cup cane sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until well combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Scrape down the bowl and increase the mixer speed to medium high. Beat until pale and fluffy, 6 to 7 more minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour until just combined. Gradually add the egg mixture and beat until combined. Scrape down the bowl, increase the speed to medium and beat until smooth and fluffy, 15 to 30 seconds.
  • Scoop 1 cup batter into the bowl with the raspberry sauce and stir in the red food coloring. Transfer half of the remaining plain batter to the prepared pan and top with half of the raspberry batter; swirl together with a knife. Repeat and swirl the batters together again. Bake until the top springs back when gently pressed and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool 15 minutes in the pan. Lift the cake from the pan and remove the parchment; return to the rack to cool completely.
  • Make the glaze: Combine the confectioners' sugar, 2 tablespoons heavy cream and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon each vanilla and almond extracts in a medium bowl and whisk until smooth; thin with the remaining 1 tablespoon heavy cream, if needed. Spoon the glaze over the cooled cake and sprinkle with freeze-dried raspberries. Let set at least 20 minutes.

RASPBERRY SWIRL POUND CAKE-STARBUCKS COPYCAT RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Raspberry Swirl Pound Cake-Starbucks Copycat Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by MJH

Number Of Ingredients 15

Raspberry Pound Cake:
15 tablespoons butter, softened
1/4 cup milk
3 eggs
1/4 teaspoon raspberry extract (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 1/2 cup cake flour
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup raspberries
Cream Cheese Frosting:
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • For Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9 x 5 loaf pan with non-stick spray. In bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and raspberry, vanilla and almond extract. (Raspberry extract is optional if raspberries are not available or very ripe - just adds touch of flavor). Set aside. With a mesh strainer over a small bowl, use a spatula to push and mash the raspberries through the strainer. The seeds and pith will be left behind and the raspberry juice will be in the bowl. Set aside the raspberry juice and discard the seeds. Sift together flour, sugar and baking powder into the bowl of a stand mixer. Fit mixer with paddle attachment, and turn on low. Add in softened butter and mix on low until the flour/butter mixture has combined. It doesn't have to be completely smooth, but just make sure majority of flour and butter has been mixed together. Slowly pour in eggs/milk mixture into the stand mixer in a steady stream. Continue to beat on low or medium-low until thoroughly mixed. Remove stand mixer bowl from mixer and pour about 1/3 to 1/2 of the batter into a separate bowl. Into the batter, stir in the raspberry juice. Alternate pouring the batters into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the batters with a spoon between each addition. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Let rest in loaf pan for 10-15 minutes on a wire rack, then turn out of pan and allow to complete cooling. For Frosting: With a mixer, beat together softened butter and cream cheese until smooth. Slowly add in powdered sugar and combine until smooth. Spread over the top of the cooled pound cake. Let rest, slice and serve.

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your cake.

  • Gradually add the eggs, one at a time. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Mix in the dry ingredients gradually. Overmixing can toughen the cake.
  • Bake the cake at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. Overbaking will dry out the cake.
