. For a lazy summer day a nice pound cake with ice cream or a frozen yogurt pairing gets me all excited. If you are looking for a nice summer desert then this pound cake is definitely the one. You can leave it plain or add a nice and quick lemon or cream cheese glaze to the cake. There are so many options here.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nI opted for the ice cream and cake, but the others are also a hit!<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nOld-fashioned Blue Ribbon Pound Cake is dense, moist, buttery, and sweet. It has that outer crusty edge with a smooth, creamy, small crumb inside that makes pound cake distinctive. One taste and this will be your new favorite cake recipe!<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nP.S. Be sure to test the doneness of the cake by sticking a toothpick in the center, if it comes out clean, then the cake is done.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n- 2 cups butter, no substitutes salted or unsalted, at room temperature, I use this\r\n\r\n<\/li>\r\n
- 3 and 1\/2 cup granulated sugar\r\n\r\n<\/li>\r\n
- 10 large eggs at room temperature\r\n\r\n<\/li>\r\n
- 4 cups all-purpose flour sifted (always sift, then measure)\r\n\r\n<\/li>\r\n
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract I use this<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Directions<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAllow butter and eggs to come to room temperature.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
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.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n- Cream 2 cups butter until soft and there are no lumps<\/li>\r\n
- Add 3 and 1\/2 cups granulated sugar and cream until light and fluffy\r\n\r\n<\/li>\r\n
- Add one egg at a time, beating until just mixed in before adding the next egg\r\n\r\n<\/li>\r\n
- Lower speed on mixer to low and slowly add 4 cups sifted all-purpose flour\r\n\r\n<\/li>\r\n
- Add vanilla and mix in completely\r\n\r\n<\/li>\r\n
- 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.)\r\n\r\n<\/li>\r\n
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour and 20 minutes<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
Enjoy!<\/p>\r\n
XOXO,<\/p>\r\n
