Moist, Dense, Heavy Cream Pound Cake

"I don't think i will try baking another pound cake after making this one! It has the smoothest texture that is both dense and moist. This is easily put together, and it is hard to mess up! To your own flavor preference, you may add additional flavors such as butter or maple extracts, or 2 tsp. of lemon or orange juice with the zest. let eggs and butter sit out at room temp. for 45 minutes to an hour before making. cake flour is used to increase the smooth texture. Just be aware that you might have the whole thing in one sitting! A friend had this served with peanut butter, but I'm sure this would be delicious served with any icing or spread, even whipped cream."

  4. Just came across this recipe which looks really good. I'm not accustomed to using cake flour. Why is there no baking powder or baking soda in this recipe? Most cake recipes with all purpose flour need baking powder Thanks
     
  5. Can I add rum and raisin to this recipe? If possibe, can you share the measurements. Thanks!

  1. This is a nice pound cake. I haven't made one in years so when I came across this one I thought I'd give it a try. I served it with berries and ice cream. Very moist and dense. I'm going to slice and freeze the leftovers for my husband to enjoy during the week.
     
  2. This is a delicious pound cake. I agree that this is the only pound cake recipe I will be using from now on. My only addition was the zest of 1 lemon, in addition to 2 teaspoons lemon juice. Wonderful. I put some of this batter into Nordic Ware's bunny cakelet pan and the rest into a loaf pan. The bunnies came out great. Thanks for this recipe.
     
  3. Made an awesome pound cake even when i substituted the heavy cream (2/3 c soymilk & 1/3 c non dairy butter) and butter for non dairy products... smells soooooo yummy!
     
  4. Throw away your other pound cake recipes! Absolutely delicious. Has the moist, dense characteristics I was looking for and have Found in this cake. Enjoy!
