True authentic Pound Cake dates back to the 1700s. The recipe called for a pound of each ingredient; butter, flour, sugar, and eggs. WOW! No wonder they call it pound cake!
What causes a Pound Cake Recipe to be too dense or sink in the middle?
If you over-mix the ingredients (thus developing the flour’s gluten too much), it will rise too high in the oven and then sink once you remove it. That will also result in a cake that is too dense/firm. Beating the eggs and dry ingredients on medium speed should help!
What does Brown Sugar Pound Cake taste like?
Is Heaven too simple of an answer?! This easy pound cake recipe is so decadent, and each bite is sweet perfection. It’s great on its own, with brown sugar icing as shown, or left alone and topped with fresh cream and sliced strawberries. It’s similar to shortcake but even better.
Is Pound Cake the same as Foam Cake?
No, pound cake has so many more calories! Pound Cake is an all-butter cake while Foam Cake is made from three basic ingredients: Eggs, Sugar, and Flour. Both are great but I think you can tell which one is my favorite.
