Re: Easy Chocolate Pound cake
The only pound cake I say is a deff is the pound cake I make from scratch,
easy recipe for a pound cake type cake.
Ingredients
3 cups all purpose flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 package vanilla pudding
1/2 tsp. popcorn salt
1 1/2 cups butter or 2 1/2 sticks
2 2/3 cup sugar
1 tbs. heavy cream
1 cup heavy cream
1 tbs. vanilla bean paste or 1 vanilla bean scraped
6 large eggs
directions
preheat oven to 325 f.
combine and sift flour, salt, sugar and pudding package. Put in a bowl and set aside.
cream butter, sugar and vanilla thoroughly, add 1 tbs. of heavy cream and beat hard for 30 sec.
add the flour and 1 cup of heavy cream alternating between the two and scraping down the bowl at least 1 during this.
add eggs 1 at a time making sure each is incorporated before adding another. Scrape down sides of bowl 1/2 way through.
spoon into pans and bake until golden brown and cake springs back when gently touched.
This is a dense and sweet pound cake. Goes very well with butter cream dream icing or any creamy icing. This a little sweet to cover with chocolate icing in my opinion but that is just what it is, my opinion!
