Butter Pound Cake Recipe.
This is a really rich pound cake which is tasteful alone or with ice cream or a fruit topping such as peaches. This is probably one of the best if not the best pound cake recipe I have ever made. I have made cream cheese, sour cream,buttermilk, etc and whipping cream still seems to be the best to me. This cake is very moist, easy to make and very delicious. Oh, my goodness talk about exceptional! This cake is so incredibly good! These classic cakes have a dense crumb, a tender, moist texture and a rich, buttery taste.Bakers use the creaming method-beating the fat and sugar together to hold air bubbles-and chemical liveners like baking powder, rather than beaten eggs like sponge cakes and angel food cakes to create their fine texture.
Some recipes also call for chemical liveners baking powder or baking soda, milk, buttermilk or sour cream, flavoring extracts, and a pinch of salt to heighten the flavors. Over-mixing, which would cause the cookies to spread flat when baking, is hard to do when creaming butter and sugar for a cake. Since there are so few ingredients in these cakes, use high-quality butter and pure flavoring extracts, measure with perfect accuracy and follow the recipe directions to achieve the best results. This is my favorite style of pound cake, resulting in a firm cake that is great for cubing, slicing or snacking it's highly addictive and is great for dipping in ganaches and creams or sauces.
