Marbled Million Dollar Pound Cake Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb. (4 sticks) butter, softened (I used 3 salted and 1 unsalted)
3 cups sugar
6 extra-large eggs, room temperature (I used 5 Jumbos)
4 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled measurement)
3/4 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract*

Steps:

  • Lay butter and eggs out to get room temperature for 30-45 minutes before beginning the cake. Generously grease and flour a large 10-cup tube cake pan. In a very large mixing bowl and using a mixer on medium speed, beat the butter until creamy and pale colored, about 5 minutes. Gradually beat in the sugar until all of it has been incorporated and the texture is light and fluffy and almost white in color. Beat in one egg at a time, mixing just until each egg is blended. On low speed, add the flour to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour. (1 c flour, 1/4 c milk, 1 c flour, 1/4 c milk, 1 c flour, 1/4 c milk, remaining 1 c flour). Stir in both extracts* (see note at end first). Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Pour batter into prepared tube pan and bake on center rack of oven for 1 hr 30-40 minutes, or until center tests done with a long wooden toothpick or skewer. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes then remove cake to cool completely on the wire rack. Store covered at room temperature. Serve with whipped cream/whipped topping, chocolate syrup, fresh berries, or my favorite, vanilla ice cream! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For the optional chocolate batter: *Omit the almond extract from the cake batter above. Remove about HALF the batter to another mixing bowl; then whisk in 1/4 cup cocoa powder just until combined. Alternately add the two bowls of batter to the prepared tube pan and bake as directed above.

This cake was a disaster. It didn't rise properly and it was completely inedible.

This cake was a huge disappointment. It was dry, dense, and flavorless. I won't be making it again.

The cake was delicious, but it was a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time, I'll reduce the amount of sugar by 1/4 cup.
