Making Pound Cake

[@BrandeArno]

Watching Hans whip up that cake was amazing. I've never seen a pound cake that tall stay that tall out of the oven.

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Brande Arno Thanks, Brande! Wasn't that the highest pound cake ever?? Hans has a great recipe!

[@craftlover9702]

I think that is the tallest pound cake I've ever seen. Amazing!! This was fun and I can only imagine the wonderful time you both had!!! I think Hans needs to have a you tube channel and start sharing some of those Southern dishes, LOL!! Love all the Vintage appliances!!! Thanks for sharing, enjoyed it!!

[@cavalcadeoffood]

***** Thanks - wasn't that a huge pound cake!! We ate it for a couple of days! Hans is a great Southern cook - the lunch he made for us that day was wonderful. I'll tell him he needs his own channel!!

Boy, what fun to see other folks with the same vintage lifestyle! Love the music, appliances, vintage pound cake recipe, but especially vintage appliances, and seeing them in use. That '48 Kelvinator is absolutely beautiful. You would need 10 men and a boy to manage moving that Kelvinator for "stove swap" ! There is more steel in that than today's semi trucks! Thank you Hans, Kevin, and Ralph for sharing. You guys did a swell job. See if you can break Hans in to do some stuff on a KZbin channel as well,(if he doesn't already have one), as I would love watching that in addition to "Cavalcade of Food". There is always room for more videos and information like this. Thanks a million, guys!

[@cavalcadeoffood]

amflashback Thanks so much!! That stove of Hans' is as heavy as it looks! I'll let Hans know he needs his own channel! Thanks for watching!!

This pound cake is the real deal. It's very similar to what I've made for years, since I was in high school in the 1970s. I've never tried using self-rising flour, just baking powder, so I'll have to try that. I always beat the flour and milk and vanilla in by hand at the last. Mocksville is only a few miles from my house. We go near there, through "greasy corner" to get to my aunt's in Woodleaf. Thanks, Hans, Kevin and Ralph for doing this video.

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Hi Jonathan! Glad you liked Hans's recipe! He's a great southern cook and everything I've ever tried of his is absolutely delicious! This pound cake was a real treat! Thanks!

[@debbieann3594]

Adluh Flour? I'll have to look for that here in California! This recipe sounds wonderful and looks spectacular! Thank you for sharing Hans!! Thanks Keven & Ralph

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Debbie Wright You're welcome, Debbie! I don't know if you can get Adluh Flour in California - they don't sell it here in Mich. It is a regional brand in the southeast. It may be available online. Thanks for watching!

[@adalb137]

Ok...to say that I got a little excited during this episode is an understatement! Hans has a fabulous collection of vintage appliances and I have to say that's about the most beautiful pound cake I've ever seen. I've been around pound cakes my whole life (a staple in the South as you said) but have never seen such a large one! I've always used my grandmother's and mom's recipes but I'm going to have to try this one! Cheers!

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Adam Bryan Hi Adam!! I knew you would love this one with all of his vintage appliances! Needless to say, I could have spent all day looking at everything in his collection. Give this recipe a try - it really makes for a wonderful pound cake. I don't know if they have Adluh Flour in your area, but it made for a very nice cake! Thanks for watching!

[@adalb137]

Cavalcade of Food If Hans sees this - If I'm ever that way I'd love to see your collection! I've never heard of Adluh Flour so it must be a SC thing. I can order it online, though. I'll probably just stick to my White Lily flour...another southern tradition :)

[@salliemorrill2671]

I love that Kenmore mixer! Now that's a well engineered small appliance.

[@ShalimarPerfume]

Love the vintage appliances. I used to have an old corningware percolator, but the handle broke off of it. Made the best coffee. I do have an old West Bend stand mixer(yeah it has that spinning bowl feature also), a Moulinette made by Moulinex and was mfg in France(came with 3 double sided slicing and dicing blades and a feeder chute that you put a bowl under,, small chopper/grinder and a one speed blender) .Also an old Osterizer/Galaxy model blender that a standard mason jar will fit in it, instead of using the jug.Back in the 1980's when I started living on my own and could not afford new appliances, I would frequent yard sales to gather up kitchen gear.Remember the old General Motors fridge I mentioned that I got for 10 bucks and it needed to be hauled up a set of stairs with ropes and a couple of strong armed boyfriends. LOL. Love the double oven range.And that pound cake Hans baked is a beauty. I agree, ya don't need fruit, glaze or ice cream with that. Have a safe trip back home you guys. Will be watching for new videos and I have a request when you are back at your cottage, can you do some BBQ outdoor cooking shows?

[@cavalcadeoffood]

***** Thanks, Shalimar!! Sounds like you have a vintage collection too!! These old appliances are really great - and I agree about the old percs making the best coffee! We will try to work in some outdoor cooking before the end of summer - thanks for the suggestion!!

[@donnaclinton5578]

Such a great kitchen. The appliances, the decor, and the colors are wonderful! And Hans made a great looking cake.

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Hi Donna! It was a lot of fun cooking with Hans in his kitchen. I hope to do it again soon! Thanks!

[@theremin137]

Well Hans you old buzzard, you sure did whip one fine pound cake! (I'm Charles in Los Angeles.)

[@acrousonelos]

Hans gave me the recipe over the Phone. Delicious!

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Hi Andy - so glad you tried this cake!! It's a great recipe - Hans always has the best!

[@acrousonelos]

He defiantly does! Love the channel!

[@SFmusic100]

What a delicious looking pound cake. Makes me wish I could have been there too.

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Howard B Thanks Howard - it tasted as good as it looked!!

[@mtnmonamona842]

Wow, this video is terrific. Now I must go look for a vintage mixer...what a dream! Thank you.

[@cavalcadeoffood]

mdeporres19 Hi Kendra - thanks for watching. Hope you give this recipe a try! Yes, Hans sent me a beautiful Westinghouse hand mixer a while back and I've used it in a couple of videos - it works like a charm! Yes, we come across gas stoves from time to time. I am wired for electric service in my kitchens so I usually don't buy gas stoves (I think I have one) because I can't hook them up, but there are many beautiful gas models out there!

[@lauren6889]

How wonderful thankyou all x

[@buickfins]

got to say Hans is one of my best friends wonderful man

[@cavalcadeoffood]

+Ron Jones He sure is Ron! Thanks for watching!

[@LuJustLu]

Oh my goodness, what a treat!!!! That pound cake will be the main attraction this weekend. I've never heard of (or thought of) mixing the two flours. Makes perfect sense. I wish I could hang out and cook with y'all...such fun!

[@Canerican.]

Hans’s knowledge of vintage appliances is amazing! He’s in the vintage appliance group on Facebook!

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Hi CC - Hans is one of the most knowledgeable people I know when it comes to these appliances! Thanks!

[@sylviafischer7739]

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Thanks, Bob! Glad you found the video! Happy New Year!

[@karinjeffrey7981]

Yum, I love NC and its food. Thanks guys, Your videos make my day! Hans has a stunning kitchen, doesn't he? Amazing Kelvinator. It was fun to see how that mixer just purred. And did I spot a super cool Broyhill Brasilia hutch next to the kitchen? Hans,dude you have taste.

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Karin Jeffrey Doesn't he have a cool house!?! It might have been a Broyhill hutch - he's got wonderful mid-century furniture. Thanks for watching!

Hi Kevin! Having my first get together with Hans in Mocksville this summer...how unbelievable was his cooking and his collection??

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Hi - if you're getting together with Hans then get ready to eat!! He's a wonderful cook and has an amazing collection! Have fun!!

[@sophielucas552]

oh I love this but i want this mixer and cant find one. I had never seen one before this, as I have four vintage sunbeam mixmasters but Im obcessed with this one now. I have checked ebay and esty, and did a general search too. I love the yellow, its the perfect yellow color. do you know where I could look to get one of these? I have watched you mix this cake over and over and its an excellent recipe.. I wish there was a group for people that love these old mixers too. I love the simpler time, nothing complicated like today. Thank you so much for posting this, Im sure I will be coming back again and again. Please show more videos with this darling mixer, and thank you so very much!

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Hi Sophie - keep checking online, and also estate sales, flea markets and rummage sales. These mixers turn up from time to time. Glad you are also a fan of the vintage mixers!! Thanks for watching!

[@amflashback]

And I forgot to mention, we saw "Baby Kelvinator" at the cottage, and "Papa Kelvinator" at Hans' house, we just need to find "Mommy Kelvinator" somewhere!

[@cavalcadeoffood]

amflashback LOL!! I'm sure Mommy Kelvinator is out there somewhere!! Seems to be the summer for Kelvinators! Thanks for watching!

[@lauren6889]

Hans is making me a little anxious.. But i have to say that i LOVE the Orange Tupperware x

[@mdeporres19]

Hey Guys in your search for vintage appliances, do you ever run across gas stoves? My Grandma had the neatest, little gas stove, it was very small - I have never seen a stove so small. Her kitchen was very tiny but, despite the tiny kitchen and stove, she cooked some amazing meals and baked some amazing cakes! It was the only stove she ever owned. If I am remembering correctly, did Hans send you an electric hand mixer Kevin? I think you mentioned this in one of your videos a while back. That pound cake was nothing short of spectacular!! I think I need to try this recipe soon. Thanks for sharing; hope you are having a great vacation. ~kendra

[@gingerjen6037]

Hello Kevin...what a beautiful cake!!! I was wondering if you could share the full list of ingredients with measurements for this cake I wasn't able to capture them all with amounts in the video. Thanks in advance!

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Hi Jen! Thanks for watching!! Here are the ingredients and measurements:2 sticks butter (softened)1/2 cup Crisco3 cups sugar6 eggs3 cups all purpose flour1 cup self-rising flour1 cup evaporated milk2 tsp vanilla extract1 TBSP lemon extractHope this helps!!

[@gingerjen6037]

Thanks so much...I will be trying this very soon!

@@cavalcadeoffood What is the proper temperature for baking this beautiful cake?

[@MoonLily]

Oh man! Why did I have to go and join weight watchers today?! I'm going to blow my extra points on this cake soon! Drool city! Loved all the vintage appliances! Looks like you guys had a fun trip!

[@MyFreedomChannel]

Oh wow! My grandmother would have had a bake-off with Hans with those mixers. Haha ... Hey, can I go with you guys next time to North Carolina? I have a brother who lives in Hillsborough. Ask Hans if he would be willing to share his pound cake recipe here. I'd love to try my hand at it. :)

[@VictoriaPaxton]

Great video...thanks guys!

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Victoria Paxton You're welcome, Victoria!! Thanks for watching!

[@heatherinparis]

Great video.....cake looks absolutely wonderful. I was surprised to hear that pound cake is considered a staple only in the south.....my grandmother who came from England, made pound cake just like this....many, many times.....from a recipe taught to her by HER mother. I think pound cake is simply a staple of those who like delicious baked goods :P

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Heather Smedley Hi Heather! Thanks for watching! I think you're right - everyone who appreciates good baking likes pound cake. You see it from time to time here in Mich., but in the South it seems to be everywhere - many restaurants have it on the menu, but good pound cakes can be found anywhere there is good baking going on!

[@edwinpowell224]

Heather Smedley Heather, it would make perfect sense that pound cake would have originated as an English delicacy since the South, particularly the Carolinas, was settled primarily by the English and the Scots. Many Southern recipes have their roots in English fare, although sometimes with a dash of African and Native American influence.

[@daniellavin5874]

OH WOW!!!

[@johnting673]

Just came across this video, you guys always share the best recipes Also, that mixer looks similar to the Westinghouse food crafter, so I'm guessing they manufactured for Sears.

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Hi John! Glad you enjoy the recipes! It does look like a Westinghouse, doesn't it? Thanks so much!

[@lauren6889]

Maestro !

[@sabrinaallen3142]

I WAS WONDERING IS ADLUH A BRAND OR IS IT A FLOUR TYPE CAUSE I'VE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE? I LOVE BAKING POUND CAKES AND WOULD LOVE TO TRY THIS RECIPE. COULD I USE MY BRAND OF FLOUR (GOLD MEDAL)

[@Phaedragon]

Kevin, that looks so delicious! Can I make that in a Bundt pan?

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Phaedra Ovid Hi Phaedra - I think a Bundt pan may not be big (tall) enough. I would use a tube pan to be sure. Thanks for watching!

Okay A good cake episode that I missed .

Glad you found it!

[@joshua5986]

Hi Kevin! I tried to write the recipe but I could not tell how much evaporated milk and any salt in the recipe. It looks like 2 cups of evaporated milk or is it one cup. Please let me know, I want to make this delicious pound cake .

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Hi Al - my friend Hans made this cake and the recipe comes from a bag of Adluh Flour, a local flour milled in North Carolina. Here's the recipe: 1/2 lb Butter 1/2 cup Crisco 3 cups Sugar 6 Eggs large 3 cups Adluh Plain Flour 1 cup Adluh Self-rising Flour 1 cup Milk 2 tsp Vanilla Extract 1 tsp Lemon Extract Start with a cold oven. Do NOT preheat oven. Cream butter, Crisco and sugar together. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each. Add flour and milk alternately, again mixing well after each addition. Add extracts. Pour batter into a well-greased and floured tube pan. Bake at 325 degrees for approximately one hour and 15 minutes.

[@lauren6889]

Hi Hans !

[@lauren6889]

Wow xxx

[@kathleenvine7577]

I didn't hear how much milk is used or what temperature to put the oven at, can anyone give me that information?

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Hi Kathleen - Hans used the pound cake recipe that appears on the bag of Adluh Flour, which is milled in NC. Here it is: 1/2 lb Butter 1/2 cup Crisco 3 cups Sugar 6 Eggs large 3 cups Adluh Plain Flour 1 cup Adluh Self-rising Flour 1 cup Milk 2 tsp Vanilla Extract 1 tsp Lemon Extract Start with a cold oven. Do NOT preheat oven. Cream butter, Crisco and sugar together. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each. Add flour and milk alternately, again mixing well after each addition. Add extracts. Pour batter into a well-greased and floured tube pan. Bake at 325 degrees for approximately one hour and 15 minutes.

[@landontimmons9412]

I like Kenmore.

[@cavalcadeoffood]

That Kenmore mixer did a beautiful job! Thanks!

[@edwinpowell224]

My grandmother was from Columbia, S.C. and she swore by Adluh flour but she always pronounced it 'AD-lah', not 'AD-loo'. I remember her making pound cakes from scratch like that and flavoring them with vanilla and almond extract. The aroma of it baking was indeed sublime and I have never tasted any pound cake to match it. Pound cake gets its name because the traditional recipe calls for a pound each of butter, flour, and sugar.
