I’ve been craving pound Cake and just had to make one. I’ll go on record now and tell you that by no means is this a low-cal dessert. Also, if you use organic products, it could be expensive. The calories and the expense are well worth it though. This pound cake is extremely moist and buttery. The older it gets the better it gets. I love it a few days after it’s made with a good cup of coffee for breakfast.
Recipe from: “Italian Family Cooking Like Mama Used to Make” cookbook
Ingredients:
3 C all purpose Flour
21/2 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Salt
1 C Butter (room temp)
2 C Sugar
5 extra large eggs
1 cup Milk I used buttermilk
1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
Directions:
Adjust oven rack 1/3 from bottom of oven and preheat to 350ºf. Grease a 10x 4- inch tube pan. Dust lightly with flour.
Mix together all ingredients and bake for 1 hour or until cake is light brown and tester comes out clean.
Cool in pan about 5 minutes then remove from pan and invert onto cooling rack. Let cake cool before transferring to cake plate.
I move mine straight to the cake plate to cool. When just slightly warm I glaze and sever. Everyone loves warm pound cake!
Glaze:
Powdered Sugar
Vanilla Extract
Milk
Lemon Juice
Mix until a smooth thick glaze is formed. Pour over cake and serve.
