BUTTER CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 320 degrees F.
• Mix together sugar, flour, salt, soda, shortening and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on 2nd speed for 3 minutes. Then add whole eggs, buttermilk and vanilla to the mixture and beat again for 3 minutes on 2nd speed. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and sugar into a meringue state. Then gently fold the meringue into the buttermilk mixture. Pour into 4 parchment lined sheet pans or 4 (4 by 13-inch) round cake pans. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center of the cake.

THE MOST ULTIMATE BUTTERY CREAM CHEESE POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Generously grease two 8 x 4-inch loaf pans or a 4-quart tube pan.
• In a bowl cream the butter and cream cheese until smooth.
• Add sugar; beat until light and fluffy, about 5-7 minutes (you MUST beat for at least 5 minutes this is an important step!).
• Add the eggs one at a time beating well after each addition.
• Mix in vanilla.
• With mixer on low add the flour and salt in two additions.
• Immediately pour in batter into prepared pan.
• Tap pans to eliminate any large air bubbles in the batter.
• Bake 60-75 minutes, or until cakes tests done.
• Note: if the tops begin to brown too quickly tent loosely with foil.
• Cool in pans for 10 minutes.
• Turn out the cakes then cool completely with the tops up on a wire rack.
• Note: if baking in a 4-qt tube pan increase baking time by about 5 minutes.

WONDERFUL BUTTERY MOIST POUND CAKE!

Steps:

• Set oven to 350 degrees.
• Grease a large springform pan (do not use a Bundt or tube pan!).
• In a bowl cream the butter with 2 cups of sugar for about 6 minutes (until no sugar granules remain in the creamed mixture).
• Add in the flour and beat until combined (mixture will be thick and coarse).
• Add in eggs (one at a time) mixing well after each addition.
• In a small bowl, whisk the warmed milk with the baking powder, then add into the creamed mixture; mix until combine.
• In another small bowl, dissolve/whisk the lemon juice with the baking soda: mix well until combined.
• Add the lemon juice/baking soda mix to the batter; mix until combined.
• Pour the batter into prepare greased springform pan.
• Combine the 1/3 cup sugar with the chopped nuts.
• Sprinkle on top of cake.
• Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until golden brown, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean (I found that 45 minutes in a 325 degree air-convection oven exactly was the perfect baking time for the cake ).
• Cool the cake completely in the pan before removing.
• Delicious!
