BUTTERMILK POUND CAKE
Now that I've retired from teaching, I have more time to bake. This buttermilk pound cake is the one I make most often. It is a truly southern recipe, and one I think can't be topped-once people taste it, they won't go back to their other recipes with buttermilk. -Gracie Hanchey, De Ridder, Louisiana

WONDERFUL BUTTERY MOIST POUND CAKE!
If you are searching for the perfect pound cake, then look no more, this is it!..it's one of THE best recipes for pound cake! This one has a sugar/nut topping sprinkled on top of the cake before baking. Just follow the steps carefully, mix baking powder with warm milk and the baking soda in the lemon juice, I have even used half whipping cream and half and half cream...and you will have a wonderful moist buttery pound cake that you will be making over and over again...I promise! Please, use butter only, and make sure that eggs are at room temperature, yes the flour is mixed in to the creamed mixture before the eggs, there is no mistake on the directions LOL! If you do not want to use the half and half cream, whole full-fat milk may be used in place, but the half and half cream produces a better cake. If you prefer a sweeter cake, then add in another 3-4 tablespoons sugar. I most always serve this with my caramel sauce recipe (#78088) drizzled over the cake.

Steps:
- Set oven to 350 degrees.

- In a bowl cream the butter with 2 cups of sugar for about 6 minutes (until no sugar granules remain in the creamed mixture).
- Add in the flour and beat until combined (mixture will be thick and coarse).
- Add in eggs (one at a time) mixing well after each addition.
- In a small bowl, whisk the warmed milk with the baking powder, then add into the creamed mixture; mix until combine.
- In another small bowl, dissolve/whisk the lemon juice with the baking soda: mix well until combined.
- Add the lemon juice/baking soda mix to the batter; mix until combined.

- Combine the 1/3 cup sugar with the chopped nuts.
- Sprinkle on top of cake.

- Delicious!

Tips:
- Use the right ingredients: Make sure to use high-quality, fresh ingredients for the best results. Use unsalted butter for a richer flavor, and make sure the eggs are at room temperature so they blend well with the other ingredients.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the cake and give it a light, airy texture. Creaming the butter and sugar together also helps to dissolve the sugar and prevent the cake from being grainy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the cake from curdling. Make sure to beat the eggs in thoroughly so that they are well combined with the other ingredients.
- Sift the dry ingredients together before adding them to the wet ingredients: This will help to ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the cake. Sifting the dry ingredients also helps to aerate them, which will make the cake lighter.
- Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly. Make sure to check the cake regularly to prevent it from overbaking.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting. You can also wrap the cake in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator or freezer for later.
Conclusion:
With these tips in mind, you can make a delicious pound cake that is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Pound cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is simple to make and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Whether you are serving it for a special occasion or just as a everyday treat, pound cake is sure to please everyone.
