This is a classic recipe that really IS the perfect pound cake! There is something about this exact mix of these simple pantry staple ingredients that results in a velvety smooth and perfectly dense and tender cake.
I love desserts! There is nothing better than a slice of cake or a scoop of ice cream, especially when it is homemade. I guess I can just taste the love in a classic homemade dessert, and this pound cake is no different! Once you finish this pound cake, you’ve got to try this classic Apple Pie, this amazing Strawberry Shortcake, and this Lemon Ice Box Cake.
I have a confession to make. I never really understood why people loved pound cake! It doesn’t have any frosting and it’s a humble looking thing. It easily is outshined by a fluffy angel food cake or a beautiful layered lemon cake. I know it’s a classic, but I’d prefer something like a lemon bar or sugar cookie instead. My feelings changed when I had a pound cake that actually made me say WOW. Out loud. And I set out to recreate that recipe because I couldn’t stop thinking about it. So here you go, this is THE perfect pound cake recipe that you won’t believe is made from a few simple pantry ingredients.
Originally, pound cake was made from one pound of butter, flour, eggs, and sugar. That’s how it got its name! Most recipes have evolved a little over time, and I think it was for the best. This pound cake is made from simple pantry staple ingredients and is a recipe you definitely need to have in your recipe book. It’s a classic! It is amazing served with whipped cream and fresh strawberries and is now one of my family’s favorites. Imagine that!
Does it get any better than a traditional pound cake? It is such a classic! And knowing a great recipe is key. This is the perfect pound cake recipe that you will want to make again and again! It is a plain vanilla pound cake, so feel free to add some lemon extract or lemon zest to add lemon flavor.
This is the perfect pound cake! I tell you what, it is as traditional tasting as can be, and everyone that had some loved it. I bake it in a loaf pan, but you could also bake it in a bundt pan for that classic look. You can make it by hand in a mixing bowl, or in the bowl of a stand mixer. This batter isn’t really delicate, so it has worked out for me either way. Make sure to follow the directions, especially scraping down the sides of the bowl while mixing. You will want a wire rack handy to help your pound cake cool properly.
As you probably already know, baking the perfect pound cake is all about the little details. It is a really simple recipe that can turn out amazing and unforgettable, or a little dry and crumbly. The difference is in these tips below, so read on!
Like most desserts, this pound cake is best eaten fresh! It is a pretty rich treat, so if you do have leftovers, here is how to store them.
If you are a cake lover, you are in the right place! I have SO many cake recipes that you absolutely need to try, and definitely have one for every occasion. Here are a few of my favorites that I think you’re going to love!
