- Опубликовано: 27 июл 2024
- Make the perfect classic pound cake EVERY SINGLE TIME! It's pound cake 101 and I'm going to walk you through every step! Pound cake is such a versatile dessert! It makes a great layer in dessert trifles, grilled for summertime strawberry shortcakes, or simply eaten plain or with fresh berries! I prefer it plain Jane or topped with hot, buttery peaches or syrupy strawberries and mounds of homemade whipped cream.

HOW TO MAKE THE BEST POUND CAKE RECIPE
Preheat oven to 325 F. Grease a 10-cup bundt cake pan with a thin layer of shortening (I use butter-flavored shortening for this. It gives the crust a nice golden crunch and buttery flavor) and then very lightly coat it with flour. Set aside. (If using loaf pans use two 9.5 loaf pans)
In a large bowl add sifted flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together well to make sure all of the dry ingredients are combined. Set aside.
In another large bowl, cream together butter until fluffy.
Add sugar gradually while mixing at low speed until combined and fluffy. Mix for three minutes (set timer)
Mix in eggs one or two at a time just until combined. Keep your mixture on low speed.
Mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients while alternating with the whole milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until batter is combined and fluffy. Keep the mixer on low speed. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Mix in the vanilla extract and lemon extract.
Spoon batter evenly into prepared bundt pan. Shake and tap the pan on the counter to even out the batter and release any air pockets.
Place on the middle rack and bake for 1 hour and 10-20 minutes until a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the pound cake comes out clean.
Place pan on a cooling rack until it is cool enough to touch but still warm.
Carefully remove the cake from the pan and place it on a wire rack to finish cooling.
Slice the cooled cake and serve. *Remember pound cake is one of those desserts that gets better the next day.

Cooking up Southern charm, one recipe at a time.
My name is Monique, and I started Divas Can Cook back in 2009 when I noticed a shortage of authentic Southern recipes like the kind I made with my grandma in her kitchen. I’m talking about that Elberton, Georgia cooking infused with North Carolina Appalachia flare. (Hey, I’m a Southern mountain girl; what can I say!) Authentic golden fried green tomatoes, hamburger steak, cornbread, biscuits and gravy, forgotten tea cakes, and fresh blueberry cobblers are the recipes that feel like home.
This channel is full of authentic Southern family recipes, recipes that I’ve developed and tweaked to perfection, and a few non-traditional ones sprinkled throughout for good luck. I hope that I will not only build your kitchen confidence, but become a trusted source for go-to Southern recipes for you and your family!

You covered EVERYTHING🙆🏽♀️!!! I'M READY FOR YOUR SECOND COOKBOOK! 💖
Love the recipes
Ok thanks
Amounts?
Made this last week for a family function. I received so many compliments and praises. I made sure to give Divas Can Cook recognition for this delicious cake.
Definitely trying this today because that crust looks delicious 😋 **UPDATED** YALL THIS POUND CAKE IS THE ONE!!
Thank you for coming back to let us know. I'm going to put this on my list.
So how much salt and flour did you use
For people who keeps asking about measurements here you go
3 cups all-purpose flour (measured correctly. See note.)
▢½ teaspoon baking powder (measured correctly. See note.)
▢½ teaspoon salt
▢1½ cups unsalted butter (room temperature) (3 sticks)
▢3 cups granulated cane sugar
▢5 large eggs, room temperature
▢¾ cup whole milk, room temperature
▢1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
▢¼ teaspoon pure lemon extract
▢¼ teaspoon pure coconut extract (optional but yum)
Thank you so much! I was wondering if she used salted or unsalted butter!
@@janay7892 if you ever use salted butter don't add salt to the recipe since the salted butter would already have salt in it
thank you so much!!
Cake was great but too sweet lol😂 thank you.
@@gaga21izeagree. I knew it was going to be sweet when I saw 3 cups of sugar but wanted to try it out. Next time I make it, I would use like 2 cups or a cup and a half
I made this today and WOW it was incredibly good! I made it in order to make some strawberry shortcakes for my after dinner desserts. But honestly, the pound cake is amazing by itself!
When the cake was almost done and the batter was slightly loose on top, I added some course sugar on the top and it made and amazing, sweet, cracker topping for the cake. It literally flaked off the top. I usually use store brand butter but I've been using Land o' Lakes butter whenever I bake (which is hardly) lately and I think that's one of the reasons why it turned out so good! Thanks for sharing this recipe and I look forward to trying some more!
This is an excellent cake. I fixed it for my family and they loved it. I copied the printable recipe everything was great including tips, the notes. My future in-laws couldn't stop talking about how good it was right down to the crispy crunch shell. It came out exactly they way she instructed. It was moist on the inside and shell had just the right crunch as she predicted. Yes I did give you credit for your recipe. Can you say AWSOME! Thank you !
I used to make the 1 2 3 4 Pound Cake, not anymore. This is the BEST butter pound cake you can eat. This is a must have on Holidays. Im making one for New Years
THIS recipe turned out EXACTLY right and better than I expected!! My new go to!! Thank you so much!!
Yyyaaaassss👏🏽👏🏽 thank you soo much!! I’ve been looking for one my moms used to make❤️

This cake looks so bomb. I'm bout to make it right now
That Pound cake looks delicious it reminds me of a cake my aunt used to make. It is called powdered sugar pound cake. The title comes from the fact that a pound of of powdered sugar is substituted for regular sugar as an ingredient. She used vanilla and more lemon flavoring than you used. It was also made with cake flour. Diva you have got to make it. It was always a family favorite.
Made this pound cake this weekend for desert for Sunday and it came out beautifully and tasted great.
I bow down to the Pound Cake Queen! Dang... everything you make looks like magic!
I have to tell you, this cake is just delicious! The instructions are easy to follow and the results are so worthy , thanks so much
How many eggs were used
It looks moist and delicious 😋
Yes, ma’am! This is gonna be my cake of the week! I just gotta remember to get the ingredients out early enough to get to room temp 😒
No.
@@jernashaf6356??
Divas can cook! I followed your recipe and it consistently yielded a winner every time. I now use this as a base for several pound cake variations.
So glad to see this post. Will try, I have made several of your pound cakes in my Test Kitchen and EVERY one of them was a HIT...I have to say the Coconut Pound cake was the Taste Team's Favorite. 😋 LOVE YOUR CHANNEL. ❤
Let me know how you like this one!🥰
This was delicious. My family loved it.
It looks amazing! 😍
Yummy 😋 yum. I love 💕 a classic pound cake. Gotta try this one for sure.
Oh my goodness, this is the BEST pound cake I've ever made! It's totally worth the couple extra steps in the mixing process! It is a keeper for generations to come. Thank you for posting it!
Hello I made this cake today it came out delicious thanks for sharing

I am trying this today!! Looks amazing. Thank you!!
I made this cake on last week. For a family gathering. It was so good.
just made this cake for my babies and they flipping loved it so much
I made this for Christmas and it came out perfectly. I used a bit less sugar, I added some lemon zest, almond extract and the vanilla. I used sour cream in place of the milk, added a powdered sugar finish. Thank You ❤️😀.
I was thinking of doing the same with the sour cream instead of milk. Did you use the amount that was called for the milk?
@@tammymarch3225 Hello Tammy, yes I added the same amount , 3/4 of a cup of full-fat sour cream. Whole milk plain Greek yogurt would work as well.
I would love to try this…🥰
Awesome!! National Pound Cake today!!
Love it. I will make it soon. Greetings from Germany 😊
Looks sooo delicious
Favorite is the heavy whipping cream pound cake. Can't wait to try this! Can it be made into 2 loaf pans?
I made this, and it came out perfectly 😊
Ooo very nice! I was waiting for the buttermilk and butter flavored shortening 😂. The eggs already being in the bowl made me do a double take 😅. I also enjoyed seeing OUR 🤣 stand mixer in the background collecting dust again 😆. All the years 😩😄. I remember that giveaway!
How we going to make the pound cake if you don't give us the measurements
girl check the link in the description 🙄
I have made your banana bread recipe and love it with dark chocolate chips and walnuts. Made it two days ago and it is disappearing. I cannot wait to try this!
Will try it this weekend
Ooh, that looks so good. Yummy!
I like a slice of skillet grilled pound cake with morning coffee or after dinner with a scoop of ice cream.
Looks delicious!
I’ve made this a few times and it’s delicious! Monique, is your cook book as detailed as your video instructions?
Hello, I may try to bake this it looks good. 😋
This is literally the best recipe for a pound cake. Everytime I go to a party or to cater for an event, I'm asked to bring this pound cake! Thank you!!!

That looks DELICIOUS! I love your videos. You explain everything so well, and you also mention the "why" for doing things. Thumbs up. Thanks for sharing. I'll have to try this! :-) I just subscribed! Beth
I should have watched your video first. I made this yesterday, I noticed I didn't add enough milk or vanilla, and I hand mixed all the ingredients, but it was still good. I can't wait to try it again and add more milk and buy another hand mixer too. 😁
I'll be trying this recipe 😊

I have never made a pound cake. I am going to try this one day. If you havent made a recipe yet could you make one for 7up cake?
I will be making this TODAY
Looks so good! I just watched the other pound cake recipe. I have a question, which one do you prefer, this one or the one with the butter shortening?
Yes, Diva can COOK. Love the Million Dollar cake.
Trying this as I am watching you ❤
Hello Divas pound cake looks awesome. My question is is all those different extracts necessary?
Not at all! Vanilla gives it a great flavor though.🙂
Thanks for the tip, now I know why my pound cake always separate. I've been mixing too much. Creaming the butter and sugar always gets me. I'm always confused as to how long to mix it.
No buttermilk wait a minute nah, Lol😄 jk. Perfect Monique, looks delicious! I will definitely make this cake. Thank you! ❤️
Monique, your pound cake looks so gorgeous.
Thank you Byron!
This cake looks great!!!! Will you consider making a vegan pound cake?
Love being here!
Love you being here!
Woaw love the texture
I love a good pound cake! Is this recipe in the cook book?
No, but there is a sock it to me pound cake in there.
I’m laying in a hospital bed at home, for the last year and half, and I was thinking: “This would sure cheer my soul up, with perhaps a light lemon glaze drizzled delicately over the finish cake, like an abstract, modern art flower. Of course, I’d have my espresso to accompany it with! I only hope I can put my, “pity me face”, on, so my daughter might consider making this for us here at home. God bless you all.
Thank you so much for this video and providing the printed recipe. It's June but I'm selecting all my holiday/Christmas recipes now for my gift giving . I hope to make about 20 to 25 pound cakes.
I have one question....can anyone tell me the best way to use a silicone bread mold? Should I spray it first?
I would love to see you do a condensed milk pound cake. Could you grace us with one? ♥♥♥♥
Yummy delicious.
