Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/3 c butter, softened
2 1/2 c sugar
9 large eggs
3 c all purpose flour
1/2 c buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Beat butter at medium speed until creamy, gradually add sugar and continue beating until light and fluffy. * It is important to cream (beat) butter and sugar for 7 to 8 minutes.
  • 2. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each egg is added just until it is blended into the mixture.
  • 3. Add flour to butter mixture alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour. Beat at low speed just until blended after each addition. Add vanilla extract. Do not over beat, it will make it tough.
  • 4. Pour batter into greased and floured 10 inch tube pan. Bake at 325' for 1 hour and 5 to 10 minutes or until a long wooden pick inserted in the center comes out with "some" crumbs stuck to it. Remember the cake is still cooking even after you pull it out of the oven and nobody wants a DRY pound cake!!! Also take in consideration that you may have to adjust the time a few minutes one way or the other, you know how your oven cooks, so keep that in mind. When the cake is done cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes, then remove from pan to wire rack to cool completely. This cake turns out with a nice little crunch on top if everything turns out alright. I hope you enjoy it and it becomes one of your favorites!!!

2 stick butter
1 heaping tablespoon crisco
2 1/2 c granulated sugar
4 eggs
3 c sifted all-purpose flour
1 c buttermilk
1/4 tsp baking soda
2 tsp almond extract

Steps:

  • 1. ALL INGREDIENTS MUST BE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE! Sometimes I cheat a bit and put the butter in the microwave for a few seconds and the eggs in a bowl of warm water if I'm in a hurry to start.
  • 2. Thoroughly cream butter and Crisco.
  • 3. Gradually add sugar.
  • 4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each.
  • 5. Put soda into buttermilk; then alternate adding flour and buttermilk/soda. Start and end with flour.

  • 7. Place in a COLD oven set to 325. Bake 1 hour and 15 minutes in a well-greased and floured tube pan.
  • 8. If you're curious about what's happening in the oven during baking, curb your curiosity and don't peek until after 1 hour. I don't know why. That's just what Mrs. Higgy told me, and she was the boss!

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch fluted tube pan (such as a Bundt®).
  • Beat vegetable shortening with sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy; beat eggs into mixture one at a time, incorporating each egg before adding the next. Mix vanilla into egg mixture.
  • Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl; stir into liquid ingredients in several additions, alternating with buttermilk to make a smooth batter. Pour batter into prepared tube pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cake is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cake cool and dust with confectioners' sugar.

LAVENDER BUTTERMILK POUND CAKE



Lavender Buttermilk Pound Cake image

I saw a mix for this cake at World Market, and decided I needed to make one for myself. Be sure to get food-grade lavender blossoms. I order mine from MySpiceSage.com. They are very reasonable. A one-ounce bag equals about 2-3 cups in volume.

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 c butter (1 stick) softened to room temperature, not melted
1 1/2 c sugar
4 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 c cake flour
1/4 c dry buttermilk powder
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 c whole milk or buttermilk
3 Tbsp lavender blossoms (food-grade)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease a 9x5" loaf pan and dust lightly with flour.
  • 2. With an electric mixer, cream the butter well. Then cream in the sugar until fluffy and well blended. Beat eggs in one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla.
  • 3. Sift together the cake flour, buttermilk powder, cream of tartar, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture a little at a time, alternating with the buttermilk, mixing slowly until thoroughly blended. Fold in lavender blossoms.
  • 4. Spread batter in prepared pan, and bake about 55-60 minutes, until tester or toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • 5. Cool cake 10 minutes in pan, then remove and finish cooling on wire rack.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the cake batter to come together more smoothly and evenly.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can toughen the cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
