    I put cocoa powder in mine to make it chocolate almond pound cake, and it was basically like chocolate biscotti in pound cake form.

      Also, if you grease your pan with enough butter, it should release pretty easily anyway.

    • @joshdaniels2363
      @joshdaniels2363 2 года назад +1

      I think the most important thing when it comes to making pound cake is to make sure to cream the butter and sugar longer than you think you need to. You want it to really lighten in color. It should be so pale it almost looks white.

      I was inspired by Food52's Off-Script with Sohla video. Pound cake is a very riffable recipe; it can be flavored pretty much however you fancy.

    Sweet, we're like reverses! I've been baking since I was 10, even made my way through high school and college with a little side business doing it, but I'm not the best with cooking. Still enjoy it immensely though, which is why I keep showing up here! That and your wonderful personality and educational skill of course :)

    This cake also comes together extremely well in a food processor- start with the sugar and hand-crumble the almond paste- it'll break up nice and smooth in 15-20 seconds. Then add the butter for creaming and continue as normal.
    If you're worried about lift from inadequate creaming, use another quarter teaspoon of baking powder.
    If you want it in a round, an 8" springform is probably best.

    the technique is almost exactly how I make my banana bread, learned from this that my butter/sugar mixture breaks bc I just dumped the egg/banana mixture in and let it go. Next time I'll add the eggs first and add the rest of the wet after! Thanks for another great vid, Chef Frank!

    I take it that almond paste is a different thing than marzipan?
    Sohla Al-Wahly did a Off Script episode on pound cake about a year ago. One of my big takeaways from that is to stop and scrape of the the sides and paddle regularly throughout the process, to make sure EVERYTHING incorporates evenly. The other big takeaway is that pound cake is delicious and I need to make it more often.

      It is not. marzipan is a confection meant to be eaten alone. Almond paste is an ingredient use in recipes.

    Since you are using Sour Cream, wouldn't half as much baking soda (along with the baking powder) make the cake a bit lighter?

  • @Iceycube1404
    @Iceycube1404 2 года назад +2

    You can also just cream the almond paste and sugar for 5-10 minutes in a stand mixer. Scrape down and turn around every other minute. And then, when your almond paste and sugar are combined, you add the softened butter a bit at a time and then just do as chef Frank says :]
