COLETTA'S POUND CAKE



Coletta's Pound Cake image

This recipe belonged to my friend Coletta Holloway. We shared a birthday and the joy of baking. She always made this cake for her family and church dinners. She found the recipe in the newspaper and shared it with me. I have experimented using various flavor extracts vanilla, lemon and almond. I also use mini loaf pans to give small cakes as gifts. I have baked this cake for others to share as gifts or offer as "their" hostess gift. Coletta's memory lives on through this cake and the joy it brings to so many. Enjoy ~ JP

Yield Makes two 9-by-5-inch loaves

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound (3 1/4 cups) all-purpose flour, plus more for pans
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 tablespoon baking powder (lighter version only)
1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pans
1 pound (2 1/4 cups) sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
9 large eggs, room temperature
3/4 cup sour cream, room temperature (lighter version only)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter two 9-by-5-inch loaf pans; dust with flour, tapping out excess. In a bowl, whisk together flour and salt. (If making the lighter version, add baking powder at same time as salt.)
  • With an electric mixer on high speed, beat butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, about 8 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl. Reduce speed to medium; beat in vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each and scraping down sides of bowl. Reduce speed to low; add flour mixture in 2 batches (alternating with sour cream if making the lighter version), beating until just incorporated.
  • Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Tap pans on counter; smooth tops with an offset spatula. Bake until a cake tester inserted into center of each cake comes out clean, about 70-75 minutes. Transfer pans to a wire rack to cool 30 minutes. Turn out cakes onto rack to cool completely.
