An American Classic: Pound Cake Recipes

March 25th, 2011

Pound cakes were the cakes invented by our moms, our grandmothers, and our great-grandmothers. The actual moniker ‘pound’ was given to this dessert since the original recipes included one single lb . each of butter, sweetener, eggs, and flour.

Now a days, we often have altered many of these ingredients, but it remains a wonderfully rich and buttery dessert which has a tasty golden brown crust. As previously, it is important to have the butter and eggs at room temperature to ensure the maximum degree of air can be beaten in to the batter. There is a tendency of the batter to curdle while adding the eggs but having the eggs at room temperature and also adding every egg individually should help to stop this. But don’t worry if you have curdling as once the flour is added the batter should smooth out.

Regardless of whether you have fun eating a slice of this cake plain with only a dusting of powdered sugar or together with whipped cream or ice cream, it is honestly a king among cakes. You might also like to try toasting a slice or, an even better choice, would be to bake a grilled pound cake. You can whip up a beautiful looking cake very quickly, simply beat an egg with two tablespoons each of milk and Grand Marnier and then dip each slice of cake into this mix, as you would French Toast. Then place the slices of cake on the grill, lightly browning every side. Hand out for dessert coupled with fresh berries and whipped cream. Positively yummy.
