Amazing Pound Cake Recipe

[@mountainair]

You've turned my 6 year old into an aspiring baker. He asks for Preppy Kitchen everyday after school. Now just got figure out how to manage his sweet tooth.

[@pjk1714]

Consider them doing more gifting. Causes less nibbles and makes many friends. We share with teachers, emergency services and of course our dentist staff.

[@adrianfletcher8963]

If you run out of people to gift (probably won't happen), you can also look up those "dessert for one" recipes where you're using half an egg or something to make one cupcake. And then the whole family can share that

Shows the importance of role models for little boys

Find old Alton Brown Good Eats video's. My youngest, who is now 24, grew up watching him. It mixes science in cooking/baking methods. She has been cooking since she was 10 on her own, obviously when her dad or I were home or her older siblings. The science method in the cooking/baking sparks further interests.

[@sacrebleu1371]

I share my baked goods with yet older neighbors who have a hard time doing simple tasks. They also want small portions, so it helps all around. They sure watch over the gardens of berries and fruit trees now.

[@mmwakeford]

I can really tell John used to be a science teacher. He explains everything so well.

[@SabineL-z5u]

Here in Bavaria in my family we call this cake 'Eischwer' because you weigh the eggs and add the same amount of sugar and flour. Similar to the original British recipe. Yummy and a staple food.

[@emilyserafamanschot800]

Those of us who grew up in Detroit may remember Sanders Gold Loaf Delight--a slice of Sanders pound cake, a scoop of Sanders ice cream, and Sanders hot fudge. Yum!

[@cindyalam7490]

I grew up in Pontiac, Troy and then East Lansing, Mi. I do remember that brand of products!!

[@cck6740]

Former Detroit girl here! I loved that, as well as a Sanders Bumpy cake...absolutely the best.

[@capricorndrbird]

I grew up in New Jersey but that sounds really yummy 😊!

[@jocastadaniels1566]

So great that you give a bit of a chemistry lesson during the process. Knowing why a certain step should be taken makes me pay more attention to the process. Cake looks yummy.

[@karinasanchez3285]

This is my very favorite cake… love butter 💛✨🫶🏻🙌

[@Angelicus-p5p]

I always wondered where the name 'pound cake' came from. Thanks 👍 One of my favourites was always a lemon pound cake with a sticky coating on the top!

[@ia8582]

Pound cake instead of bread for French toast. Soo yummy and sweet

[@carolmcwilliams730]

I love a sluce of a great pound cake turned into strawberry shortcake. 😋. You have inspired me to cook and bake again. Thank you kind sir!

[@BEVERLYRANDOLPH-lx4qu]

I think strawberries and whipped cream is the best way to eat pound cake!

[@JessicaA231]

Making some for my strawberry shortcake cake today. Can’t wait.

[@caspersastro]

You’ve inspired me to make a brown butter pound cake. I’m gonna brown the butter and add the water back in.

[@DavidHall-ge6nn]

That sounds heavenly!

[@monifa3605]

I absolutely love a simple pound cake!! I like to add sugar to the sides of my bake pan instead of flour for a sugary crust and on the top before baking for another sugary golden top crust

[@pollydolly9723]

That sounds wonderful!

[@WalnutStreetStudios]

My Mom from Brooklyn would always make us toasted pound cake with ice cream, or slice it longways and add fresh whipped cream with peaches😊

[@karolineseymour6047]

Icing? A little lemon juice and icing sugar...drizzle the top after it cools a little and YES!! Just saying.. thank you for this amazing recipe John..

[@amyandbrian1729]

I love cubing pound cake(store bought) and adding a small amount to my ice cream... it's a must try, so so good..

[@DJ678]

Thank you for sharing this recipe! I love pound cake! Actually the historic recipes are not so dense as you might expect without baking powder. In fact, they would always use a copper bowl to whisk the eggs before adding them to the batter. The eggs and copper react together, which gives the cake a natural raising agent. This was so well known back then, that it's not mentioned in the old recipes. But it does work! 😀

[@MHHamm]

This looks delish. And yes, toasted pound cake is amazing. The sugars caramelize into a delicious toasty top. I like to serve with fruit compote and whipped cream or ice cream

[@kathyrama4570]

Oh gosh, I am from the South, this is the first scratch cake I learned to make. Nothing beats a homemade Pound Cake. There are so many recipes, the Whipping Cream Pound Cake is one of my favorites.

[@bluebubblegum88]

I am DYINGGGG for you to make a baking cookbook ❤❤

[@Craxin01]

Similar to the example you mentioned, toasting and adding cream cheese, I toast it, spread a bit of butter on it, and then spread a nice tart jam, red plum is my favorite.

[@meand3786]

This the most delicious cake for me 👍

[@huffette721]

When my mother in law would bake pound cake, she would make a lemon drip topping for it and drizzle it over the top. Once the topping set, she would serve the cake. That topping made the pound cake so good, especially when she used lemon juice in it to make it a lemon pound cake.

[@lisamoore6804]

I have a sour cream coffee cake I make and it's heavenly. I love what sour cream does to it. I must try the pound cake.

[@mariawatkins8015]

I would would love to make your sour cream coffee cake 😊

[@lisamoore6804]

@@mariawatkins8015 Google: sour cream coffee cake tastes better from scratch. That'll bring up the recipe I used.

[@brigid1927]

Thanks for this recipe.I am baking it right now!!!!😊

[@sukanyamokkarawut1025]

So delicious. It’s easier to make than many butter cake recipes I have tried. Thank you very much.😊

[@suzisaintjames]

Best part is that it freezes well. 💖🌞🌵😷

[@tolis1962]

IT SMELLS BEAUTIFUL

[@snickerspayne4929]

Yum! Want to eat this with some macerated strawberries and whipped cream! Thank you, thank you!

[@hermosamock492]

That’s what I did. Yummy

[@bennybodash855]

I can’t wait until I can make this recipe. Thank you John for your dedication and hard work.

[@LB-gy8eh]

I saw this last night.Had to make it this morning.Wow what a great cake.Tasty cake without frosting.I will make again.So easy.Next time more vanilla for me.I made with a hand mixer No problems.🎉

[@thomass5169]

Just put your pound care in the oven moments ago..., thanks for all the details. Sweetened raspberries and fresh whipped cream will go on-top. The only difference is I am using raw sugar, so some extra mixing was needed on the wet ingredients. But the finished batter looked awesome. Very fluffy. Hopefully the finished product holds up with that change.

[@BeachPeach2010]

I'm going to give this a whirl today for Easter with some strawberries. Might even throw in some lemon juice.

[@the-red-ghost]

My favorite cake ever 😋 would love to see chocolate version

[@ldcraig2006]

I'm going to make this tomorrow with my daughter. I just need to run out and get some sour cream first. I've been jonesing for some pound cake for a while now, and my recipe is so old (from the 1980's) and cooking techniques have changed so much to make a better product, so I'm going with this. Wish me luck!

[@allthingstasty351]

I put a slice in the toaster… yummy for breakfast !

[@katecatalina9943]

I feel like you read my mind! I wanted to make one yesterday but I couldn’t find a good recipe! Thank you for this!!

[@jovievillena9459]

Watching from philippines.my favorite cake.thanls for sharing your recipe.

[@doracox1911]

We've put p-nut butter on it, jams & jellies, apple butter, honey, confectioners or cream cheese frosting, it's one of our favorites. ☺️

[@fchino-jr.3340]

Yummy 😋 you had me at pound cake John. My mom always put a light coating of soften butter on a warm slice of homemade pound cake…..extra fattening but so freaking delicious. ♥️ Love & hugs.

[@leticialopezencinas6536]

Can't wait to try this recipe, yours are always the BEST!!

[@suzisaintjames]

We like lightly (warmed mostly) toasted pound cake slathered with peanut or Nutella. 💖🌞🌵😷

[@mmakomanyatja5213]

Incredibly my friend wow your recipes are Best of Best many thanks stay bless with your family ND much appreciated

[@chuckw-p2j]

My God, this man is talented, but it caught me off guard when he said he might have to add five or ten minutes due to the pan being SMALLER. I'd have expected the opposite, tbough I'm a newbie, barely an amateur. I'm going to try this one. His peanut butter and chocolate cheesecakes make me look really good at work. Thanks, John!

[@alicebrokman2863]

Would be great for strawberry shortcake. Actually any fruit.

[@AlexandraUtschig]

Pound cake is the best dipper for chocolate fondue. So decadent!

[@taiwoijilade2076]

IMMA TRY THIS OUT

[@JanMaltbie]

John, please confirm if 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract is to be used or did you intend to mean 2 teaspoons? I look forward to making your pound cake recipe. I have tried many of your recipes and my family has loved them all.

[@TheZiggy8282]

Another great video, John! You really make it fun and easy for me as a beginner baker to try new things and I can't wait to make this one!

[@dianasmith5912]

My late aunt put mace in her pound cake. Really delicious

[@lulububu721]

Hi John, I have made this ( not exactly) pound cake a million times before, I just love it, so does everyone else lol I typically make it whenever I make a trifle, I used to buy jelly rolls but I find the pound cake much better tasting. Thank you for sharing, I will make this recipe next although I believe it is soooo very close, almost the same really. Thank you for sharing with us, I am looking forward to the next one. 🧚‍♀️Tina 🧚‍♀️

[@jcormier9384]

My mom used to give us a slice in a bowl and pour warmed milk over it and we would eat it with a spoon. This was a bed time snack.

[@ladydevildog8946]

Excellent, thank you! 🎉

[@SavoryExperimentsCooking]

I love how moist and dlish this looks!

[@meenha1976]

£cake is my fav, I remember backin the 80's I was newly married & my sister in law used to make bundt cake, I think sugar flour and 6 eggs. I need a mixer since the last one broke. I will make this soon and let you know how it turned out

[@TheFlyingGerbil]

Pound cake is my default cake because it’s the only one I don’t need a recipe for. I just weight the eggs, then equal weight of flour, sugar and butter and can use different amount of eggs depending on what I want to make. 2 eggs make one round layer which I might mix spices and raisins in. 3 eggs for 2 layers which I love just whipped cream in between and a dusting of icing sugar on top.

[@Jeffffrey0902]

I've heard about grilling a slice of pound cake before you eat it in a barbecue. Never tried that but it should be good. As for the original recipe, I make it with separated eggs and reduced amounts of sugar (any other ingredient:sugar=1:0.55, by weight). Save the egg whites and half of the sugar, make the batter the normal way, make meringue, fold it in, and bake the normal way. This method has never gone wrong. Give it a try.

[@shopwithaaron]

I Like mine toasted then quickly spread with salted butter!! THX!

[@murvin7171]

love from st Lucia🇱🇨🇱🇨

[@sallysue9377]

I’m wondering if you used lemon zest and lemon juice instead of vanilla. Would that work

[@norniea]

Lemon pound cake is amazing!💛 Lime zest could work too, thou I've never tried that.

[@jeraldbaxter3532]

As a child, I did not like pound cake very much, but then I encountered pound cake with fruit sauces, and then pound cake with fruit sauces, pieces of whole fruit and whipped cream. Remarkable how my attitude changed.😊

[@namirkhadour8544]

Looks so delicious 😋 thank you

[@canadafragrancereviewerdia9119]

I just made this and its cooling, i did have to leave it in longer than you though cause the toothpick came out wet. Another 6 mins. maybe my oven isn't as hot, i don't have your fancy oven, i hope its good, it looks amazing and i hope its cooked in the middle.

[@simple-kitchen326]

سلام انا متشرفه بك انا احب كثير كل الحلويات رائعه رائعه رائعه احب كثير حلويات وكل شيء 😊😊😊

[@SrikrishnanC]

Good Recipe! Thanks john My family had fun eating it! We felt that the eggs were over powering the cake. But i think the eggs in India are to blame. Nevertheless , cake was tasty, Thanks john!

[@topaazmoons1]

Just wanted to tell you that I made your recipe and used Greek plain yogurt in place of the sour cream. It is delish especially with macerated strawberries and red raspberries. I am 54 and never made pound cake before. Ty. :)

[@pamparker4047]

That’s a great idea ❤❤❤

[@shahmohbuburrahman1739]

🇧🇩💖🔛📉😍😍😍😍

[@mariapilarfernandez792]

I've made it today and... Great succes!!! It is delicious. I' m glad.

[@h_githma]

I love your recipes, recently made the lemon pound cake for my mom's birthday

[@Famcke]

Boy-O-Boy! Just what the doctor ordered 😂 Looks delicious 💙🙏🇺🇸

[@User65123]

Plz make the cream cheese muffin or pound cake 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@Sosipatra]

Love it! I also like to add some lemon zest for more aroma 🙈

[@carolynpreissinger6491]

I slice a piece butter it place under broiler!! Yum!

[@Mrjrich37055]

It makes really good French toast… as does angel food cake

[@damarahorton5264]

I love ALL your videos and recipes.

[@Sunshine-dw5cm]

Many people who have marble countertops have purchased extra large cutting boards to work on, so that things like needing their butter to soften can actually happen.

[@stebstebanesier6205]

Just out of curiosity, why do we use unsalted butter, but add salt to the flour.

[@KimSiever]

Yum! One of my favourite.

[@nursejean7331]

Thank you for this recipe 🙏🏼

[@kevinrivera2752]

I love watching your videos

[@lifeisbeautiful_nz]

❤Sour cream Pound cake.. Thank you

[@larisadinulescu5048]

If you oil a knife and cut the top before putting it in the oven it will crack beautifully

[@Lalalalala-ni4mn]

I know he won’t respond to this but can anyone tell me if I can put this in a Bundt pan? If so do I have to make more batter to fill it up?

[@AiKitchenYT]

oh wow looks delicious already even you haven’t started the vid 😊❤

[@Asian1626]

Simply beautiful😍✨, cake is full of yummy and knowledgeable 😁👌🙏.

[@bsilva6064]

Hi John, I love all your recipes!! ❤😋💘

[@amyandbrian1729]

This looks delightful..

[@aktam99]

How can you make this a lemon flavored cake?

[@Sunshine-dw5cm]

I store my cake in the fridge. When I want a slice, I melt a pat of butter in a frying pan and lightly brown my slice on each side.

[@GavinBroom0605]

I love pound cake!

[@christinerepoff4808]

Sounds delicious , can't wait to make it.

[@KellyS_77]

We like a slice of pound cake with a bit of jam.

[@amyspeers8012]

When I was a Girl Scout, there was a baking competition. I came in 3rd in my region for my pound cake. It was made in a tube pan/angel food pan. I love the loaf versions. Can this be made in 3X5 loaf pans?

[@susa3672]

Hope it will get the same good with a handmixer, I have not such a kitchenmachine. 🙋🥰

[@lowkwanwong3959]

I think this pound cake would be amazing in a trifle.

[@sylviaa5343]

Thank you for another great receipe❤😊

[@claire1965ify]

My god I love a good pound cake and that looks delish. The order I mix the ingredients is different -after creaming the butter and sugar I alternate a cup of sugar, 2 eggs, then a cup of flour 3 times. I wonder if it makes a difference? Also I dont preheat the oven. I’ll try your recipe to see how it turns out. Thanks!
