MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Sara Lee Pound Cake Categories: Cakes, Desserts, Dairy Yield: 9 Servings 1/2 c Butter (113 g); room temperature 1 1/2 c Sugar (300 g) 3 lg Eggs 1 1/2 c A-P flour (180 g) 1/2 c Whipping cream (116 g) 1 ts Pure vanilla extract In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the softened butter and sugar until pale, light and fluffy; a minimum of 5 minutes. It takes longer than you think to cream butter and sugar the right way! Beat in the eggs, one at a time, on your mixer's lowest setting. Stir in the vanilla. Gradually add in the flour and whipping cream in alternating amounts until fully incorporated. The finished batter should be smooth, creamy, and have an almost mousse-like consistency. Transfer the batter to a 9x5" loaf pan lined that's been with parchment and sprayed with cooking spray. Place the pan into a COLD oven. Do not preheat! Then set the oven to 325°F/165°C and bake for 60 to 75 minutes. When the pound cake is golden and fully set, remove and let cool for 5 to 10 minutes in the pan. Then, transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling before slicing and serving, as desired. Tip: To accurately test the doneness of a pound cake, insert an instant-read thermometer into the center. The pound cake is fully baked when it reaches an internal temperature of 210°F/99°C. Recipe FROM: https://www.tasteofhome.com Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives MMMMM
