EASY POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a 900g loaf tin with parchment paper (mine was 19cm x 9cm x 6cm). Put all of the ingredients except those for the icing into a large bowl and beat together, either using an electric hand whisk or a wooden spoon until smooth and combined. Pour the mix into the loaf tin and spread evenly with the back of spoon. Bake for 40 - 45 mins.
• Once out of the oven, leave to cool and make the icing. Combine the icing sugar and vanilla paste with three tbsp of water - you may need more but add it gradually to get a thick icing. Spread it over the top of the cake; it's fine if it drips down the edges. Allow to set and then slice.

POLISH POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Grease and flour a 10 inch Bundt pan. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, shortening, sugar and vanilla flavoring. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Then stir in the evaporated milk. Combine the salt and 2 1/3 cups of flour, stir into the wet mixture. Toss the remaining flour in with the walnuts, add to the batter and mix well. Finally, fold in the cherries. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
• Place cake into a cold oven, then heat to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Bake for 2 1/2 hours. Cool for 15 minutes in the pan before inverting onto a plate to cool completely.

PERFECT POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan; dust with flour, tapping out excess. Beat butter with sugar, baking powder, and salt on medium-high speed until very light and fluffy, about 6 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl, then beat 1 minute more. Scrape bowl again, then beat in vanilla.
• Add eggs, a bit at a time, beating well after each addition. Reduce speed to low and add half of flour, then sour cream, then remaining flour, beating until just combined after each addition. Remove bowl from mixer and use a spatula to get all the way down to bottom, stirring and folding to ensure all the butter is fully incorporated. (This will prevent butter streaks on the top of your cake.) Scrape batter into prepared pan.
• Transfer pan to oven, reduce temperature to 325°, and bake until top is golden and a tester inserted in center comes out clean, about 1 hour, 5 minutes. (Starting at a higher temperature, then dropping down gives the cake a jump-start before allowing it to bake nice and slowly, so it doesn't get too dark.)
• Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cool 1 hour, then invert cake onto rack, turn top-side up, and let cool completely. Slice to serve; or store, unsliced, in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days; or freeze, wrapped in plastic, up to 3 months (thaw to room temperature before serving).

POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a tube pan.
• Cream the butter and shortening together in a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, starting at the slowest setting and increasing to a medium speed after 3 or 4 minutes. Cream on this setting until done.
• Add the sugar a little at a time. Add the eggs, 1 egg at a time, mixing after each addition, until well incorporated.
• In a mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt, and mix with a wire whisk until thoroughly combined.
• Reduce the stand mixer setting to the lowest speed. Start adding a little of the dry ingredient mix followed by some milk. Alternate the dry ingredients and the milk ending with dry ingredients. Then add the vanilla extract.

• Remove the pound cake from the oven and let it cool down for 3 to 5 minutes.
• Gently flip tube pan over to remove the cake, and cool the pound cake on a wire rack. If the pound cake cools too long while still in the tube pan, it might break or not come out.
