Super Moist Pound Cake Recipes

VANILLA POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to a medium 150 deg C (300 deg F). Place the oven rack in the bottom one-third of your oven. Grease and lightly flour the base and sides of a loaf pan (20 cm x 11.5 cm x 6.5 cm) or cake tin of your choice. Shake off the excess flour.
• In an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter till light and fluffy at medium speed (speed 3 on a Kitchen Aid mixer), about 8-10 minutes. Add vanilla and almond (or rose) essences, mix till well blended.
• In a cleaned mixer bowl, using a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip egg yolks with sugar on high speed (speed 4 on a Kitchen Aid mixer) until mixture turns pale and thick. Transfer to a separate bowl, wash the mixer bowl and ensure that it is completely dry and grease-free.
• In a cleaned and dry mixer bowl, whisk egg whites with 1 tsp sugar till stiff peaks form.
• Fold the creamed butter into the egg yolk mixture. Sift in the flour and salt, and fold till well combined. Lastly, gently fold the egg whites into the batter till well combined.
• Pour cake batter into a greased loaf pan (or cake tin of your choice), and level the surface. Gently tap the pan a few times on the work surface to eliminate air pockets. Bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, or until a metal or bamboo skewer inserted into the centre of the cake emerges free of batter.
• When done, remove the pan from the oven, let cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack to cool completely. Serve warm, chilled or lightly toasted.

OLD FASHIONED BLUE RIBBON POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Allow butter and eggs to come to room temperature.
• Grease and flour a tube (I recommend this one.)or bundt pan. The cake is too large for a regular bundt pan. You need a 10-15 cup bundt pan like this which is larger than a standard bundt. If you don't have a tube pan or large bundt pan, you can make cupcakes with the extra batter. Don't fill the pan closer than 2 inches from the top or it may overflow. You can grease and flour, use non-stick spray, or I absolutely love this cake release product from Wilton! You may need to line the sides of the tube pan with waxed paper so that is above the top of the pan 2 to 3 inches as shown in the photo. This is a very tall cake.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Cream 2 cups butter until soft and there are no lumps.
• Add 3 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar and cream until light and fluffy.
• Add one at a time, beating until just mixed in before adding the next egg.
• Lower speed on mixer to low and slowly add 4 cups sifted all-purpose flour.
• Add vanilla and mix in completely.
• Spoon batter into prepared tube or bundt pan. (If using a bundt pan, make sure it's large enough for batter to double in size.)
• Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
• *PLEASE NOTE - COOKING TIMES VARY DEPENDING ON IF YOUR OVEN IS CALIBRATED AND IF YOU USE A LIGHT OR DARK PAN. TEST THE CAKE BEFORE THE RECOMMENDED TIME. IF THE CAKE IS TOO DRY, YOU BAKED IT TOO LONG.
• Test for doneness with a wooden pick. Insert pick in the center of the cake, if pick comes out clean or with dry crumbs, it is done.
• Remove cake and allow to cool on a wire rack 30 minutes before inverting onto a serving platter.
• The recipe is correct as written. There are no baking soda or baking powder in it.

MOIST CREAM CHEESE POUND CAKE

• Combine the 1/3 cup sugar with the chopped nuts.

LEMON BUTTERMILK POUND CAKE

• Add in 1/3 of the flour, 1/2 the buttermilk mixture, and the rest of your flour, then the rest of the buttermilk mixture and mix until just combined. Don't over-mix.
• Pour your batter into a prepared 5"x9" loaf pan and bake at 350ºF for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out cleanly. If you use a glass pan, bake for an extra 10 minutes.
• Allow the pound cake to cool in the pan until barely warm and then remove it from the pan to cool completely on a cooling rack before making the lemon glaze.
• Combine powdered sugar, salt, and buttermilk powder and lemon juice in a bowl.
• Mix with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth
• Mix in the soft butter until smooth and creamy
• Place the pound cake on a cooling rack and then onto another pan to catch the glaze runoff.
• Pour your glaze over the top of your cooled lemon pound cake and garnish with fresh lemon slices if you desire.
• Transfer your finished pound cake to a serving platter and enjoy!
