OLD SCHOOL SOUTHERN BUTTER POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Coat a 10-inch, 12-cup tube pan or bundt pan with solid vegetable shortening and sugar or Wilton cake release spray.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter and cream cheese with a mixer on medium speed until the mixture is fluffy. Stop mixer and scrape sides. Mix again.
• Add sugar and extracts. Beat until light and fluffy. Stop mixer and scrape sides. Reduce speed to low and mix again.
• Add eggs, one at a time, alternating with flours 1/2 cup at a time until all eggs and flours are used. Add salt. Stop mixer and scrape sides. Mix again.
• Transfer batter to the prepared pan.
• Bake for about 1 hour 20 to 30 minutes or until a tester comes out clean or with dry crumbs. (The internal temperature of the cake will be 200°F when fully cooked.)
• Allow cake to cool on a wire rack for 15 to 20 minutes before inverting on a tray to cool completely. Wait until the cake is completely cool before frosting.
• Store in an airtight cake taker either on the counter or the refrigerator. It will stay fresh on the counter 3 to 4 days and in the refrigerator 5 to 7 days. See notes above for freezing.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a medium bowl, then set aside. Cream the butter and sugar in a stand mixer on low speed until it looks pale yellow, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time. Scrape down the sides after adding each egg. Mix in the vanilla and lemon extracts. Add a third of the flour mixture. Mix well and scrape down the sides. Add half of the sour cream. Mix well and scrape down the sides. Add another third of the flour mixture. Mix well and scrape down the sides. Add the remaining sour cream. Mix well and scrape down the sides. Add the remaining flour. Mix well and scrape down the sides. Use your spatula to scrape the bottom of the mixing bowl to be sure everything is incorporated well.
• Spray a 9-inch Bundt pan well. Pour the batter into the Bundt pan and smooth the top. Bake until golden brown on top, 1 hour 15 minutes. Use a cake tester to check to see if the cake is done; if the tester comes out clean, it's done. If not ready, bake in increments of 5 minutes. Let the cake cool in the Bundt pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack and remove the pan to cool completely.
• Grilled pound cake is best with cake that is 3 to 5 days old. Preheat a griddle with lines. Cut slices about 1/2 inch thick. Grill each side for 2 to 3 minutes. (If cooking on an outdoor grill, grill just until grill marks appear, 30 seconds to 1 minute per side.) Serve immediately with fresh berries or a fruit compote.

OLD-FASHIONED POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a loaf pan (9"X3"). With an electric mixer, cream butter, sugar and eggs until fluffy. Add the flour one half cup at a time along with a little cream and keep on mixing until you have incorporated all of the flour. Now add the vanilla. Mix. Pour into your prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50 minutes or until the cake has risen, has a golden crust and when you check it with a toothpick, the pick comes out clean. If you have moist batter stuck to the toothpick you need to bake it a bit longer. Add 5 minutes and check again.
• Let the cake cool standing upright in the pan for 15 minutes. Then turn the pan on its side and gently tip it to coax the cake out. Then stand the cake back upright and let it cool completely.

ORANGE OLIVE OIL POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F. Butter a 9 × 5-inch loaf pan.

Whisk in the olive oil, milk, brandy, liqueur, lemon zest, orange zest, and 1/4 cup of the orange juice. Add the dry ingredients and whisk to combine. The batter is wet. It's okay.
• Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 1 hour 5 minutes to 1 hour 10 minutes, until a cake tester inserted in the cake comes out clean. You will smell the cake when it is done. Remove the cake from the oven and let cool enough to handle, then flip over onto a rack to cool thoroughly.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup orange juice. Turn the cake right side up. Using a pastry brush, brush the glaze all over the cake. Allow the glaze to harden some before serving.
