Read on for my easy guide and tips to making the Southern classic Pound Cake from scratch.
I quite literally would just bake desserts if I could get away with it! I can hear my husband claiming that’s all I do anyway! Eh, I throw enough chicken and steak in to keep me out of trouble with them! I enjoy making and eating desserts that much. As I’ve mentioned before, my favorite dessert to make is a Pound Cake, any Pound Cake. I’ve experimented with many, many different pound cake recipes.
Strawberry Pound Cake
The batter for a pound cake should be thick and velvety. The outside of forms a crisp coating, while the inside remains buttery with a fine texture.
Traditionally, a pound cake recipe uses a pound each of
Strawberry Pound Cake
As with any cake here’s your method for mixing (detailed instructions and measurements for Strawberry Pound Cake are further down the page)
- Combine the dry ingredients
- Cream your
butter (or other fat) and sugar - Add eggs to your
butter /sugar mixture and whip. I like to add and beat one egg at a time. After all the eggs are added to thebutter /sugar mixture, whisk/mix them until the color lightens. The color will lighten as more air is incorporated. - Add your liquid, usually milk, cream or half and half
- Add dry ingredients and liquid ingredients alternately to creamed mixture. You’ll want to begin and end with the flour.
- Beat until all is combined and velvety smooth
- Add flavorings such as vanilla or almond and mix well
- Pour into a well greased and floured bundt or loaf pan. I typically use a bundt pan for pound cakes
- Bake – thick pound cakes typically takes at minimum an hour to bake
- Cool 20 to 30 minutes before inverting on a tray. You’ll have much better luck with it not breaking if you let it cool slightly.
Dust simply with confectioners’ sugar or serve with whipped cream allows the buttery flavor to stand out creating a party-in-your-mouth sensation!
