Carnation Pound Cake 11 Recipes

THE BEST POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Don't preheat oven. Grease and flour a 10 inch tube or Bundt pan. Sift together the all purpose flour and self-rising flour; set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream together the margarine, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Alternately beat in the flour mixture and the milk, mixing just until incorporated. Finally, stir in the lemon extract and vanilla.
• Pour batter into a 10 inch tube or Bundt pan. Place cake in cool oven and set oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Prepare your cake pan. Coat with shortening and flour. I use a very old aluminum "tube" pan. The hole is smaller than the newer ones, but use pan of your choice.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Beat butter and sugar at high speed until soft and smooth. (I use a heavy-duty Kitchen Aid mixer).
• Add condensed milk and beat until well blended.
• Add eggs, one at a time and beat well after each addition.
• Combine flour, baking powder and salt and add one cup at a time and beat well.
• Add vanilla and beat well.
• Bake 1 hour and 30 minutes. I put aluminum foil around my pan so the crust won't get too dark. Also the last 20-30 minutes I lay foil over top to prevent the crust from being too dark.
• Alow to cool for 30 minutes before removing from pan.
• Enjoy.
