APPLE POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Let the eggs, milk and butter come to room temperature on the counter before beginning. (Butter goes on the counter last.)
• Butter the Bundt pan with 1 tablespoon of butter, then add 2 tablespoons of flour and shake and tap to coat the interior of the pan; set aside. Put the diced apples in a bowl with the cinnamon and lemon juice. In a large bowl or stand mixer add the butter and 2 cups of sugar and beat until smooth. Add the egg yolks, 1 at a time, and blend to completely incorporate before adding the next. The mixture will become very light in color. Add the buttermilk and the extracts and mix to combine. Stir in 3 cups of flour along with the baking powder and stir until incorporated.
• In a separate clean dry bowl, whisk egg whites until foamy, then add the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and whisk until shiny and soft peaks form when removing the whisk from the whites. Gently fold this into the cake batter. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Arrange the apples in the center of the ring all the way around, being sure they don't touch the outer or inner edge of the pan. Pour in the remaining batter and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven and cool completely. Put a large plate or cake plate on top of the pan, then holding both together, flip them so that the curved bottom of the Bundt pan is on the top and the plate is resting on a flat surface. Slowly remove the pan from the cake by lifting it straight up. Slice and serve.

MOIST CREAM CHEESE POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°. Grease and flour a 10-in. tube pan. In a large bowl, cream butter, sugar and cream cheese until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. In a small bowl, whisk flour and baking powder. Gradually beat into creamed mixture. Transfer to prepare pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 80-90 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve with desired toppings.
