COLD OVEN? Pound Cake Recipe

[@salishseaquest7952]

Emmy, with those 3 wrappers from the butter that you used, I would have completely greased the Bundt pan, every nook and cranny, and then thoroughly dusted with flour, tapping out the excess. That is always my tried and true method when using a Bundt pan. Loved watching this recipe -- I had read it in Cheryl Day's cookbook, bookmarked it, but I had never tried it. YUM!

[@rtyria]

Same, in fact that was my "job" whenever Mom baked. Got really good at it over the years.

[@MsKimberkat]

Absolutely. Use a solid fat like butter, coconut oil, ghee, or shortening to grease the baking tin. Get into every nook and cranny. Start out with 2-3 tablespoons of AP flour (or other preferred flour) in the bottom of the greased pan. Tip, tap, and rotate the baking tin to evenly distribute the flour. Use additional flour in order to make certain the pan is fully coated. I, personally, have better luck using a vegetable shortening because it lacks the milk solids in butter that can scorch. When I want a buttery flavor, I use ghee. I have found that using a solid rather than liquid fat works best. Liquid fats can be absorbed very quickly by baked goods. I've found that dusting liquid fats with flour can create unappealing globs of flour on the exterior of baked goods. I'm wondering if perhaps in focusing on the ridges where you generally experience sticking, you simply didn't use as much as was needed in the larger sections of the pan? Of course, you could apply the release paste and do a light dusting of flour.

[@salishseaquest7952]

[@laura121684]

That was how my grandmother did it, how my mom does it, and how I do it. Either butter or shortening, coated in flour, then tap off the excess. It's been a trusted method for generations in my family.

[@MHS-us1qv]

When I make Bundt cakes, I alternate between just spraying it liberally with oil and oiling it and flouring it for extra insurance. I found that the main reason my cakes were sticking was that I wasn't letting them cool completely. Once they're completely cooled they tend to not stick. I've had a few crumbs here or there, but overall, cooling then completely is what works best.

[@aronc24]

[@faigee3493]

👍mom used to save the wrappers in the freezer for that purpose

[@RobbertNyhan]

I did this after Dylan did it, and I used Madagascar vanilla bean paste instead, I used heavy whipping cream instead of milk like you, and instead of using the whole eggs, I only used the whites, and added an extra egg for the missing quantity of yolks, and I did everything like you, but I whipped the egg whites and then folded it into the batter, making it even more airy and light! It was amazing! I should do a video on it because I got no sticking to my Bundt pan which is exactly like yours! I use the release spray and a mix of 3 parts flour to 1 part powdered sugar to coat the pan after spraying it. Works like a charm!

[@soshaval2058]

"Two official bloops of vanilla." I love it.. someone else who measures/explains like I do. ♡

[@Antaios632]

What I've always done to unmold Bundt cakes without sticking is to thoroughly butter the inside, then dust the butter with a few tablespoons of flour. I just knock the flour all around the inside of the pan and then dump any excess that doesn't stick to the butter. Then I dump the batter in and bake. I've never had a cake stick when I've used this method. It's very much like the lining paste, but what I suspect didn't work there was that it was too thin because of the oil.

[@darthvader5532]

Baker's "gooping" method.

[@bobg1685]

I've dusted with flour when I've done vanilla or pound-type cakes, but I've dusted with cocoa powder when I've done chocolate cakes. Now, though, I just used the baker's spray. I'm only slightly ashamed.

[@deawallach3404]

I agree, just the butter/shortening and flour is what I use. No oil

[@poppysdaddi]

that’s what i’ve always done. learned from my grandmother and mother.

[@modarkthemauler]

Breadcrumbs work better instead of flour instead of flour in my experience.

[@jeffereysholar3891]

My great grandmother gave me her recipie for pound cake. She was born in 1915 and said she learned it from her mother! It's exactly like this except the milk is sour cream and she added some almond flavor with the vanilla. She always said that the cold oven was to "set the crust" this is really a special recipe. Yall try it!

[@bellablue5285]

My great grandmother had a similar recipe with sour cream and almond extract, though also a dash of lemon extract.

[@HuggieBear39]

This was the first type of pound cake I made. They called it a butter pound cake. I now mostly start out my pound cakes in a cold oven, and let them bake at 300-325 for 70-85 minutes.

[@MO-gy3yp]

I think some fresh berries, whipped cream, and hot coffee would pair lovely with this!

[@trexvalleygirl2770]

I've used this recipe for almost 30 years. I use heavy cream instead of milk. Buttering and flouring the cake pan works just fine. Wherever you miss will stick to the pan. Make sure the oven is completely cold. The cake won't bake right if it's even a little warm. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean. For an added treat, I add 1/2 to 1 cup of amaretto liquor to the batter. After cooling on a rack, I pour on more amaretto on the outside of the cake, add a dusting of powdered sugar. Wait for it to soak in. I repeat this several more times, layer of amaretto, dusting of powder, repeat. The more you add, the thicker and crustier it becomes. One final dusting of powder before serving. The longer you let it sit between layers, the more it soaks into the cake. (The amount of liquor is to your taste and liking. I've made cakes where I've used as much as 3 quarters of a 750 ml bottle of Disaronno between the inside and the outside. Just depends.) It's something my coworkers beg for and love. I make for special occasions like Christmas and birthdays. I make a rum version of this, too, but add a rum and cinnamon glaze to it. This cake is extremely versatile.

[@emmymade]

Mmm...

[@MasterPeaceJourney]

How long do you let your pound cake sit in the pan after baking before flipping it?

[@charlie6923]

I wonder how the size of your oven affected the final product. I imagine when the recipe was created, it was intended for a full size domestic oven, and those take much longer to heat up than the smaller countertop models

[@darthvader5532]

I'd almost imagine that it would bake slightly faster in the countertop oven, but a bit more dense, as long as your cake pan doesn't touch the sides, it shouldn't be too problematic.

[@brucetidwell7715]

I wondered about that, too. It didn't seem to hurt anything.

[@zuriandthewildthings9880]

I was thinking the same thing, then looked up the size of the first gas ovens when these kinds of recipes presumably started. They are pretty similar in size to Emmy’s counter top oven.

[@notold37]

Hey friends, I watched Dylan Holis make this same cake in a standard oven, and from memory it took about the same time as Emmys, and had that beautiful crust, Dylan has a KZbin channel and tictok, I hope this helps, thanks

[@genespell4340]

The standard oven has a higher BTU ratio. The ovens should heat up in the same amount of time.

Hi, this Hassanein from Baghdad Irak, I just wanna tell you that everything you do is just a pure perfection, I love your soul and your motivation.

No after taste? Interesting 🧐 I wanna try this someday. Thanks for the idea. 👍🏻

[@sarahmcdonough7713]

I made a lemon buttermilk bundt cake recently that I saw on food52, it said to butter the pan and then line with fine breadcrumbs. I only had panko so I just crunched it up in a bag first. The cake practically jumped out of the pan! Though it was a small cake, since I used a 12 cup bundt pan for a 10 cup recipe, so there was less surface area of cake touching pan. But still worked great, I might just keep lining that way for every bundt recipe, since you would never notice that the breadcrumbs were there.

[@kiija5354]

Buttering and lining with breadcrumbs is the staple here, I heard about using flour only from US recipes. Breadcrumbs have never failed me, and since I used them from the start I never thought sticking to the pan was an issue. Gives a great crust, too! I melt the butter and spread it with a baking brush like Emmy did here, that way I get it to all the nooks and crannies. Then I sprinkle the breadcrumbs to the center wall first while tilting the pan, and then just rotate the pan, lining the outer walls with the crumbs that fell to the botton. Very little waste that way. My favourite pan is a small 1liter (about a quart) bundt pan, for me the pan Emmy used is way too big, lol!

[@AnniCarlsson]

Line it with flower works to. Breadcrumbs is what we always do in Sweden.

[@SundaysChild1966]

When I was a child, I religiously pre-heated my ovens whenever I made cake. At one point in time I got incredibly lazy and impatient and just skipped the pre-heating step whenever I would make cake and I so happen to have had success with every single cake I've made thus far. The only exceptions are other kinds of desserts, such as eclairs or cakes that require special attention (such as cheesecakes).

Emmy - Beautiful job with that pound cake! I've been a food blogger and baker for decades. Years ago I'd coat my bundt pans with softened butter and a dusting of granulated sugar - the sugar left a slightly crunchy layer on the crust of the cake, which was quite nice, but occasional sticking would occur. But a number of years ago, a fellow baker shared their love of Baker's Joy with me and all I can say is I'll never bake without it again. It has proven its worth over and over... it's my fail-safe way to prepare bundt pans and I get perfect release every single time.

[@Patrincia]

PS - I love black walnuts. The next time you make your favorite chocolate chip cookies, throw some chopped black walnuts into the batter. My MIL is famous for hers (she just uses the standard tollhouse recipe). Anyway, chocolate chips and black walnuts are a flavor match made in heaven. Highly recommend.

So fun fact. I use my zojirushi BBCC-X20 bread machine to make pound cake and they come out perfect every time and you don't have to worry about mixing it, prepping the pan or anything. You just throw all the pound cake ingredients in the way you would any other bread, set it to CAKE or QUICK READ or EXPRESS BAKE depending on your machine and set the crust to LIGHT. press start and Wala! Pound cake! If you think about it every bread machine is a cold oven :)

"Cake goop" is very well known amongst us bakers. :) I keep a jar in the fridge at all times. It's the best pan release method I've ever used! I just made a layer cake today using aluminum cake pans that are notoriously sticky. My layers came out easily and cleanly. I make sure I brush the pans liberally with the oil/shortening/flour "goop" making sure there are no skipped spots. I remember those Sara Lee pound cakes and the lined parchment paper! :D

[@seedraeichelberger8421]

Hey Emmy!!! I’m in a pound cake group. And this was reposted regarding sticking cakes from a manufacturer:: If you are using a pound cake/Bundt cake recipe repeatedly you may cause sticking, as they have a high sugar content. Any pan spray residue or general build up will reheat when you bake again, turning into sticky cake glue that will refuse to get go of your cake sponge. You will need to remove this residue~ fortunately it will come off and the pan will perform perfectly. To remove residue apply dawn power wash for 10 min, the use a nylon or plastic bristles brush. Rinse with hot water.

Love pound cake. This reminds me of my fav, German Streusel Swirl cake baked in a Bundt pan just like that. I made one for my Public Speaking 101 class in college for a demonstration speech. It was either Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines box mix which you simply cannot beat... Watch Adam Ragusea's video on came mixes to understand... Can't remember which brand but I baked one that morning before class and then mixed one up for presentation (baked it at home later... So much cake) and then served slices of still warm cake to the class. Needless to say everyone was thrilled to get cake at 9 am LOL!

[@IQzminus2]

In Sweden we have a long tradition of doing “sockerkaka”, which are pound cakes baked in Bundt molds, often with very intricate designs. The way we do it, is to use slighty soft butter and coat the whole inside. Then you pour in breadcrumbs (I think it might work even better with panko), then twist the bread crumbs around the mold until all the inside is coated, make sure every little corner and divot is covered. Then pour out any excess. You can then put the whole mold in the fridge to let the butter set and have the breadcrumbs and butter be a bit more stable (I tend to not do this, but it helps, and if you do this at the start and then go on to make the batter, that is plenty enough time in the fridge) Slowly and carefully pour in the batter From my experience they come out very cleanly. And the breadcrumbs sort of creates a outer edge. I also like to mix in some casters sugar into my bread crumbs for taste, it also changes the texture of the edge, I like it. But that is more risky for having it stick.

Sarah Lee pound cakes would always be stale even though they were frozen. We would buy the Entenmann's Butter Cake. My favorite part was the "cake leav'ins". The soft moist part of the bottom that would stick to the packaging. Once you're finishing gathering all of it, there would be the equivalent of half of a slice stuck there. For context, each slice would be the size of a slice of thick bread. The cakes were baked in loaf molds. I still buy them but they are much smaller these days. Still the best though. Never stale and hard to get. Stores can never keep them on the shelves. They get snapped up so fast. So if you see one, grab it.

Pound cake has always been my absolute favorite! In our family we hide any “flaws” with a lemon glaze. Yummmmm!

My grandmother taught me to use shortening on a paper towel to get in every crevice and then add flour covering the shortening. It’s never failed

In Germany we butter/Margarine the mold und cover it in a thin layer of fine bread Crumbs (is called Paniermehl) and the cake will come out perfect ever time with out any Resistenz . I will give cold oven a try next Time I back a Pound Cake that will make backing in Sommer time so much easier.

I line my tins by rubbing liberally with butter (it’s a thin layer but you have to be careful not to have any exposed tin), next I tip some flour into the tin and tap,tap,tap until all the butter has flour stuck to it. I then tip away any excess flour. I’ve never had sticking when I do this, it also doesn’t leave a residue :) you can get a little creative too and add sugar or cinnamon for a crispy/flavoured crust x

[@kagedraven8787]

If it is a hot day I also wouldn’t leave the tin for any time, I prep it after the batter is made :)

[@pamscat8926]

Emmy, you just brought back so many wonderful memories, of my Mom and Grandma making these cakes. I have not made one myself, so I can't wait to give this a try!

I spray my bundt pans with cooking spray and dust them with granulated sugar. Even the most intricate pans release well. The sugar doesn't burn and adds a slight crunch to the crust.

This is the same recipe I’ve used for a bazillion years except it used 7-up as the liquid. It filled the pan as well. Try it as the base for strawberry short cake.

[@Mirage507]

I brush the cake pan with tahini paste it works wonderful

[@camilled2298]

The lecithin in oil sprays like Pam is the key to creating the nonstick layer you’re looking for. Flour after spraying is ok but not really necessary.

I usually just use butter cooking spray and douse it really well. I have also sugared the inside, but you have to unmold it warm and make sure not to over bake. Cooking spray, just regular, or pan coating works well, just use a good amount and get it from all angles. If you are going to use flour, do it right before you put the cake in the oven and make sure to be quick and tap out the extra. I don't use as much spray if I use flour because it just causes it to cake up and flake off. During spring and fall I tend to bake a lot of cake because I have 6 kids. (Only 5 at home now.) It's a good dessert and snack\breakfast for the next day. However with 2 teen boys, there's not really leftovers now unless I hide them in advance!

I like using Baker's Joy with the flour already in it. It really does a great job coating every cm of a Bunch pan. We know how awkward it is to grease and flour those.

[@MarysPlace]

I use butter Crisco lard to butter my pan first make sure its cold.I will actually refrigerate my pan making sure the lard seals then when its good and cold add my batter and cook it. Perfect everytime.

[@limalicious]

B. Dylan Hollis ALSO made this with a preheated oven to see what would happen!

[@arrowheadmanful]

My recipe that is similar to yours is called an “Elvis Presley Pound Cake.” It uses cream instead of milk and you sift the flour three times. Total. game. changer.

[@melissabarrett9750]

I also find that using vanilla bean paste instead of essence or extract give it that something extra that is superb.

[@allcoolnamestaken4672]

I made my first bundt cake! It's also gluten free and I'm sooo thrilled. Thank you! My family who is disgusted by gf food ate it as well! This is a winner!!

[@lancerevell5979]

I learned a new measurement.... "One bloop, two bloops"! 😎 Gorgeous cake! I wish "smellivision" was a thing!

[@lizlorenzsonn9999]

Hey Emmy 👋👋 I never had any luck with baking paste. Too little and it sticks like yours did, too much and you end up with a layer of yuck on the outside of your cake. I recommend King Arthur Baking’s article “How to prevent Bundt cakes from sticking.” Grease lightly RIGHT before you’re going to pour in the batter, then lightly flour. I’ve never had to resort to returning it to the oven following their steps. Good luck!!

[@lotaria2]

I use room temperature butter and bread crumbs to grease the bundy cake pan. It never fails 🙂 The trick is to put event layer od butter on all pan (don't miss any nook of pan) and then sprinkle bread crumbs on it

[@melissabarrett9750]

I'm just thrilled that it turned out so beautifully for you. I love good pound cake and am definitely going to follow the recipe and instructions.

[@shighdodd6744]

I made this cake today. OMG it is truly the best! I have never successfully made a pound cake. This worked and taste so good! Thank you for sharing this recipe! 💜💜

[@tiffanycrumbles]

🤤 I will definitely make this 💜 love your content Emmy!

[@luneymac8405]

That looks awesome, and somehow the fact it's so awesome doesn't surprise me. Putting a chicken into a cold oven and then roasting it really makes for the crispiest skin. I think starting in a cold oven is way underrated.

[@Hervinbalfour]

This is the only way I bake pound cakes for my business. In a cold oven. Once I noticed the difference in texture and density I never went back to a pre-warmed oven for baking my pound cakes.

[@medawson01]

I have a cold oven pound cake recipe. It is wonderful! I've used the baking paste as well. It works very well.

[@Sweetbeariesart]

I have done this before by accident and the cake turned out just fine.

[@nicholem4831]

There are multiple cooking sprays on the market that contain flour as well as oil. I use the one by the brand Joy, Pam spray has one now and other brands as well. I bake in my bundt pan all the time using that spray and I’ve never, ever had a cake or bread (I love to bake my banana bread in there lol) stick or come out damaged or covered in excess flour/oil. I believe the trick to be the baking spray with flour combined with de-molding while the cake is still pretty warm. Not HOT hot when it’s fresh out of the oven, but only waiting 5-10 mins. I believe it keeps the food lube from cooling off too much and re-solidifying which is what makes things stick to the pan. I find the canned spray with flour to be excellent. It eliminates the possibility of unevenly gooped butter and clumped or excess flour that commonly occur during traditional flouring of the pan. It also rinses off easily.
