The Pound Cake "King"

[@sarahlouisebrown5027]

You were the first poundcake that I ever made, five years ago and have to still be the number one cake maker on this channel as you put us all to ease and show us that we can do it even if it’s for the first time, I have tried your millionaire poundcake as well as your southern poundcake, lemon poundcake and all came out perfectly with your guidance I have to say you are the queen of the pancakes that’s for sure everybody can put their pancakes up here all they want but when it comes to the queen you are just that thank you for sharing with us for all these years bless your heart I will look at your channel each time I want to learn some thing thank you very much for teaching me at such a late age I am now is 61 and pleasing my community and family thank you for that.

[@laurenejohnson1613]

Thank you for this tutorial. I baked so many of these cakes and fed them to my co workers to celebrate a joyous and important accomplishment of my career as a nurse for 23 years. They did not know what I was celebrating, but they all said it is a perfect moist pound cake. I give you 5 stars and Sam is just right this is the best. I tried the other pound cake you taught, but this is the winner. For some reason the King's cake is not that sweet even though it has also 3 cups of sugar. Thank you for finding your tutorial. Not difficult to bake.

Hands I was talking to a elderly woman in a waiting room and she told me as we talked about baking. The best way to grease a cake cooking pan was to mix well about 4 to 5 table spoon of cooking oil and 2 table of flour brush on cake come out with ease and look professional. Wish I could remember her name so sweet and dead right on cake release. 😇

[@Handsthatcook]

Hi Jason, I have a video on how to mix the oil & flour to make this paste... "How to flour and grease your pans in 1 step"...the lady is right, it's the easiest way. TFW & taking the time to tell me about her! God Bless, Linda

[@lisapickett6757]

Yes I like cakes made with shortening. I was thinking that 1 1/2 c of shortening would have been too much,but it looked delicious. I give it a thumbs up and will give it a try. In fact I am baking a sour cream pound cake as I type. I am the Seventh Ward Food Critic from New Orleans. I created the name because my father cooked on the Leslie Lykes Steamship where he was a Merchant Seaman. I think his title was first class baker. I tell alk that he was a Chief. Good night.

[@mondayschild1956]

I just took this cake out of the oven. I couldn't bring myself to dump in everything all at once. I blended it like I do all of my pound cakes. In addition, I added the sour cream, and baked it at 300°F for 95 minutes. I wish I could show you what it looks like. Not the crusty top at all, but the beautiful dome splits, and a really tender crumb. Thank you for this recipe! I'll be making it again!

[@Handsthatcook]

Hello Jaki This IS a great pound cake. I've made it several times, never had a problem adding all the ingredients at once, after all, I saw it made that way and it came out beautifully each time, but if it makes you feel better to add the ingredients the traditional way, then you go right ahead and do it your way! I'm glad you're happy with the results!! TFW God Bless, Linda

[@dianepuckett8790]

Linda i am a new sub. I have been making this exact cake for at least forty years and when I started out I used a hand mixer for twenty minutes. I was so happy when I got my stand mixer. I have been married for fifty one years and this is still my husbands favorite cake with my home grown frozen peaches. Love your channel

[@Handsthatcook]

Hi Diane and welcome! So glad to have you on board!! I love this cake and the ease of making it. I agree with you though, it's so much easier if you use a stand mixer. The texture and taste of this cake is wonderful. I had no idea the recipe is so old...I mistakenly added sour cream only to discover there was no sour cream in the recipe. Does your recipe call for sour cream? TFW God Bless, Linda

[@dianepuckett8790]

Hands That Cook no it does not and I always use a tube pan. My kids always liked the crunchy top and I had to make sure they didn’t pick it off lol

[@mistydutton6016]

I made this today and it rose beautifully while it was cooking and rose about and 1 1/2 inch above the pan. I didn't even put all the batter inside the pan. So Excited!!! Took it out to let it cool and when I went back it had fell! lol I just about cried. Most of the top crust hung to the sides of the pan- but lord that crust is soooo good!!! I don't know what I did wrong- but will definitely be trying again!!

[@Handsthatcook]

Hi Misty, next time either use a larger pan OR pour the batter about 2" from the top of the pan. Any batter left over use another small oven proof dish and they can bake together. I've had the same problem with other pound cake recipes not this one but I do know it happens. I know the pound cake itself was delicious and that crust is so good. TFW and commenting and God Bless! Linda

[@shelleytrevino45]

That very same thing happened in my 1st attempt. try it again with 3 tsps. of baking powder that did it for me!! Came out beautiful and perfect!

[@Handsthatcook]

Misty...I re-read your problem with the over rising and falling of the pound cake...here's another scenario: The batter was mixed too long and put too much air into the batter. That would cause it to rise and then fall. That may have also been my problem as well. After you've added all your ingredients, mix only about 2 minutes until everything is combined then pour it into your prepared pan. I hope this helps. God Bless, Linda

[@reneefinley4893]

one bowl method exists for pound cakes, it's also called the reverse creaming method. the fats from the eggs and butter locks the flour from tunnelling. This method is more forgiving than the usual creaming method.

What a beautiful pound cake!! And unusual, easy method! Have to try this! I love the way it’s mixed, beaten longer than I have ever heard of (!) and using 3 different flavorings! I may try it with butter flavoring ( I just found that again, but it’s not the same “butternut flavoring) that I remember from the 60’s, that Mom used in German Sweet Chocolates Pound Cake, and Butternut Pound Cake. They were just amazing, & I so wish I could find that exact flavoring. But thanks for this, Linda!! Will be following you!

+Tressa Daigle Hi Tressa For some reason your comment has just now shown up on this page. Remember to have everything, eggs, sour cream, and any liquids, room temperature. Don't over beat the batter (it will be greasy if you do) ALL your pound cakes should turn out wonderfully if you follow those rules. You may need to have your oven gauged to be certain it comes up to the proper temperature. That could be what is causing them not to turn out right. Thank you for the compliment on helping you! I'm here to help and so glad I was able to help you. My best to you and your family. Linda

If you make this cake or any other pound cake, add a teaspoon of Mace to the mix. It will make the cake come alive. I have a very old recipe book and it has the best pound cake made. The only thing is it takes a long time to mix and bake. But the mace is the best taste you will give a pound cake.

@@Handsthatcook the thing about mace is the amount you use. The cake I have the old recipe for uses a lot of ingredients including ten eggs. If you use too much mace, it can be overpowering. Personally, I love the taste and even use it in store bought pound cakes. Even in rice pudding. True, different people have different taste and that at times comes from what part of the country you grew up in or live in. I bet you don't like grits either. Chef Jerry

I made this recipe over the weekend. The 1st attempt failed!!! Then I looked up videos on what might of been the issue.

And thankfully I was able to successfully bake and enjoy this delicious pound cake!

Hi Shelley, I'm glad you were able to enjoy this pound cake but with 9 eggs in the recipe, you shouldn't have needed any baking powder...the eggs are the leavening. I don't know what caused it to fail. I live in Alabama and it's very humid here also. I've never had a problem making this pound cake. What a shame all the ingredients were wasted on the first cake. Especially the 9 eggs. Were all the ingredients room temperature? That could have caused a failure. I don't know what else it could have been and I know you aren't asking my advice but it puzzles me and the cost to make it bothers me as well. Thanks for taking the time to tell me of the dilemma and how you personally solved it. God Bless, Linda

I thought of one other thing it could have been...beating it too high of a speed could have put too much air in it (that's why you bang the unbaked cake on the counter a few times before you put it into the oven) In any case, I'm glad the second cake was a success. God Bless, Linda

[@kingdomwoman1958]

I made this pound cake yesterday. It was awesome!

[@Handsthatcook]

I'm glad you liked it....I did too! That's why I called it the pound cake king!!! TFW God Bless!

[@yayaof1189]

I will have to try this I actually like a thick dense pound cake . I made one Sunday but it was dry ? From a recipe I found . Thank you for sharing I’ll make this today.

[@Handsthatcook]

You baked it too long. It shouldn't have been dry. You'll love this pound cake!! TFW God bless

[@beckyhyde5685]

That looks amazing. Must try this.

[@Handsthatcook]

Hi Becky, this is a great pound cake. I know you'll love it! TFW God bless!!

[@veronicaarias8717]

Great recipe I will be trying and you guys are adorable thanks for the easy fun video tfs

[@Handsthatcook]

You'll love this pound cake Veronica....no disappointment at all! TFW God Bless, Linda

[@KathrynRoberts60]

I have been making Pound Cake for 40 years and have NEVER seen one made quite like this!

[@Handsthatcook]

Me either Kathryn!! This is one reason I shared it and the other is after I made it and it was delicious, I thought everyone would like to have the recipe as well!! TFW God Bless, Linda

[@vima8680]

That's because this is not a true pound cake. Real pond cake has only 4 ingredients: 1 lb flour, 1 lb sugar, 1 lb butter and 1 lb eggs! That's it! Anything else is Not a pound cake.

[@GrannyGrice]

Vi Ma what about flavorings?

[@perniciathames9467]

@@vima8680 Techinically you are correct. Thus the name Pound Cake, but as Terri Grice said what about the flavoring?

[@tkguyok]

Your cake reminds me of a True Pound Cake Recipe. See video here on KZbin or search the web for the recipe. It is suppose to be one of the early pound cake recipes. It is based on a pound each of flour, sugar, shortening, eggs (10 large eggs equals one pound). We'll try your recipe. Thank you for sharing.

[@Handsthatcook]

This is a wonderful cake and I know you'll enjoy it! TFW God Bless, Linda

[@backwoodscountryboy1600]

I am making this one tomorrow

[@ellenbrechin3098]

I think cake batter always taste better than it does after baking.😊

[@keyarkaelijah8930]

I used mine with Sourcream and it came out perfect

[@Handsthatcook]

You took a chance! I'm glad it worked out for you. My second time making it with sour cream didn't turn out and I had to throw it out. TFW God bless

[@jcklg5]

Looks so good, I would make it tonight for my party, but my eggs wouldn't be room temp! I will make sometime for sure! Thank you Linda!

[@jcklg5]

Happy New Year to you & Sam! 🎉🎊🎉🎊

[@Handsthatcook]

+Grace .Moran Hi Grace....take your eggs out of the fridge and cover them with some very warm tap water for about 5 minutes and they will be room temp. Also the sour cream can be put in the microwave on about the 4 level and zapped until it's room temp (be careful not to overheat the sour cream)...hope this helps. Happy New Year!!!

[@jcklg5]

+Hands That Cook thank you Linda, I won't be able to make now, my company will be here very soon, but I will make it next week! Thanks!

[@karenpratt3095]

Hands That Cook Hi Linda love your channel, this cake looks delicious. I can’t believe every thing is just dumped in. Have to use hand mixer my stand mixer that my husband brought me in 1982 burned out right after I mixed my final recipe for Christmas. Can’t wait to try it In a couple weeks to much sweet stuff around here now. Thank you happy new year

[@diannecallier2702]

Thank you for this great recipe.

[@lealascott3634]

Look very good

[@GeorgeHuffTV]

Your speaking voice sounds just like Aretha Franklin the singer. How cool.

[@hollygreene4239]

I make the one with a million steps and u gotta stand on one foot and jump up and down to make. So I'm gonna try this easy one...just unbelievable if it's really that easy and is good too!

[@Handsthatcook]

It really is this easy and so, so good. TFW God bless!!

[@pamelajohnson2748]

Your pound cake looks so good.

[@Handsthatcook]

It's a delicious cake Pamela. I hope you'll try it! TFW God Bless, Linda

[@shekithaevans7760]

LOVE THIS AND I BAKE BUT THIS LOOKS DELISH!!!! I WILL BE MAKING THIS

[@charleswalker2252]

Signed Sammed and delivered! !

[@joyceroberts9506]

And yes that looks yummy!!

[@strausd02]

Perhaps, it really doesn't matter how you mix your ingredients...She did mix hers for 10 minutes... Hers didn't seem to rise as high as mine. However, this only reinforces that it really doesn't matter, just as long as you get all the ingredients mixed thoroughly before baking...

[@aquamor1218]

Have a great new year!

[@ceciliacooper209]

You are awesome. Love your recipe. Thank you!

[@Handsthatcook]

You're welcome Cecilia....enjoy it, it's a delicious and easy pound cake!! TFW God Bless, Linda

[@hayaq9991]

I wish I could make this today.... :( I have everything and 9 eggs short...maybe trrw...cant wait to taste

[@Handsthatcook]

Tiffany, this is such a good and easy pound cake to make....you could run to the store and get the eggs if you really want to make it today....but when you DO make it, you'll love it!! TFW and commenting God Bless, Linda

[@bellab41]

That is beautiful!

[@telamar1]

Looks good looks wish I had a piece

[@Sheila6325]

I can tell just by what you put in it, that it's got to be fantastic. I would most likely put in the same flavors too. I like just a touch more flavor. This will be perfect for us, everyone loves pound cake. Have a safe and blessed New Year, all year. Sheila

[@Handsthatcook]

+Sheila6325 Hi Sheila, Happy New Year to you and your family! Try this, I think you'll like it!!

[@Handsthatcook]

+Sheila6325 I also meant to ask you if you ever made the 100 yr. old pie crust and how did it work out for you?

[@Sheila6325]

***** I've been in a "pack it" mode for some time, and have not made a thing in a while. Very unusual for me. I've been packing up the rental house I'm in right now, so that I can go to my property and start some work on it, to be able to move in this spring. I usually get to try new recipes all the time because I cook so much, but since I found that I had a chance to move, I have been only working on packing. Boy, you never know just how much you have until you start packing things up. I didn't even do a tree this year!! Never been without a Christmas tree either! I always copy recipes, so I'm sure I have it saved, and I will make it and make a video too. I actually miss cooking. I can only stand fast food for so long, and then I have to make some "real food" I'm just now getting to where I can walk around here without being worried that I will trip over something. I'm really glad you mentioned this, because this is the perfect time to make a home made pie. I actually get sick from eating the way I have had to, and after this weekend, I should have my kitchen back. One good thing about it, I did find some kitchen "toys" that I can use again, and a really old meat grinder that I have been looking for. Thank you again for the reminder, I will make the pie after the weekend, and will let you know how it turns out. Bless, Sheila

[@bethtisdalestaton7250]

OMGOSH 💝! IT LOOKS AMAZING & SO DELICIOUS & I'M DROOLING OVER HERE, LOL 😜😊!!! MY MAMA ALWAYS USED REAL BUTTER & SOUR CREAM IN HER POUND CAKE & IT WAS ALWAYS MOIST & HAD THAT CRUNCHY TOP 💝!

I CAN'T WAIT TO TRY YOUR VERSION, BECAUSE I ABSOLUTELY LOVE SOUR CREAM IN MINE 😜💝!!! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR SHARING SWEET LADY & GOD BLESS 🙏✝💝😊!!!!!

[@Handsthatcook]

This IS a great cake but another good pound cake with sour cream on my channel is called Old Southern Pound Cake. I use that recipe often with great results and have gotten rave reviews on it. TFW God Bless, Linda

[@Kimmie0323]

Linda that looks amazing!

[@reneedavidson3367]

This looks Delish!!!! Could you send me a slice please..:) make sure Sam don't catch you sneaking me some..haha!!!!!

[@Handsthatcook]

+Renee Davidson Hey Renee...LOL, if I send you 1 piece, you'll be after me to send the whole cake! I'll bet it's gone by Friday ....Sam loved it!!!! Happy New Year!!!

[@reneedavidson3367]

Happy New Year to you guys!!!!

[@Joan-ej7wv]

Thank

[@rdjackson2370]

Really worth the effort . . .

[@sula496]

Mine is in the oven now. I added 1 tsp of salt, 1/2 of sour cream. 1 TBSP of vanilla extract and 1 tsp of lemon. I 3 dont think it was enough flavoring. I should have measured cups of sifted flour instead of sifting 3 cups. I'll let you know how turns out.

[@Handsthatcook]

I think it will turn out fine...you added enough flavoring and I don't measure, sift and measure again. I measure and sift and use the sifted flour. Let me know how it tasted!! God Bless, Linda

[@sula496]

I got mixed reviews my children loved it. I thought it was bit dry although the sweetness is perfect. This was my first attempt at making a pound cake. Im making one now for a co-worker, using 2 sticks of butter and 1/2 cup of shortening and 1 cup of sour cream. Its super easy thanks for sharing the recipe. Have a great Thanksgiving! P.S. ill being trying your meatloaf soon.

[@Handsthatcook]

If it was dry, it baked a bit too long. Start testing 30 minute before the time is up and test every 10 minutes. TFW....God Bless, Linda

[@teep2056]

Yeah this is strange cause i never seen a pound cake mixed like this where you put all of this stuff in the bowl at once.

IKR.....it has holes, but it looks delicious. I like my cake texture smooth. I still may try it.

[@Ladyspice64]

I tried this receipt and it came out great . Also I watch Monrow's channel .

[@Handsthatcook]

Hi Harriet, This is a great pound cake. That's why it's King!!! Monrow doesn't do much cooking on his channel but he sure knows how to make a pound cake!! TFW and commenting. God Bless, Linda

[@Ladyspice64]

I baked the " King " pound cake last night. It is THE BEST pound cake ever !!. I thank you and Monrow ! God Bless !

[@Handsthatcook]

Hi Harriet, I'm so glad you like it as much as I do!! TFW and commenting. God Bless, Linda
