POUNDCAKE AND STRAWBERRIES



Poundcake and Strawberries image

A hard man I know made this dessert once out of supermarket cake and industrial strawberries, to serve small children who were maybe slightly afraid of him. They gurgled with delight when he slid bowls of it before them: the cake cut into large cubes and served beneath the macerated strawberries, with fresh whipped cream. This formed a bond between them all. In the crowd in which I run, poundcake and strawberries has since become a spring and summer standard, the cake home-made and, when we're lucky, the strawberries gathered from fields nearby. But not always. A supermarket version is a worthy substitute.

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound unsalted, softened butter (4 sticks), cubed, plus extra for greasing the cake pan
1 pound granulated sugar (2 cups)
8 large eggs
1 pound all-purpose flour (4 cups), plus extra for flouring the cake pan
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Zest of 1 large lemon
Juice of 1 large lemon
1 quart strawberries, rinsed and sliced
1/2 cup white sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a bowl or a standing mixer, beat the butter until it is creamed, then add the sugar, beating until it is well mixed. Beat the eggs in a bowl and add them to the mixture. Add the salt. Add the flour, a little bit at a time, and then the vanilla, the lemon zest and juice, mixing to incorporate.
  • Grease and flour a Bundt pan or two cake pans. Pour in the batter. Bake for approximately 1 1/4 hours, or until a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Turn the cake out and allow to cool on a rack.
  • Cut the cake into large cubes. Combine strawberries with sugar in a bowl and allow to sit for 20 to 30 minutes. Put strawberries on top of cake. Top with whipped cream.

LITTLE VANILLA POUND CAKE FOR 2



Little Vanilla Pound Cake for 2 image

This is my favorite little vanilla pound cake. It's perfect for 2 people. It makes a great base for strawberry shortcakes! Top it with whipped cream and drizzle with chocolate... yum. I have done a bunch of diferent things with this perfect little cake. It has a wonderful texture and melts in your mouth. You can easily double this but don't double the baking soda, just leave it at 1/8 teaspoon.

Time 35m

Yield 1 tiny loaf, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
4 tablespoons sour cream
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1 large egg, room temp
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (or almond if you like)
3 tablespoons butter, room temp

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour pan very well. I designed this to go in a petit loaf pan that measures about 5x3x2 but you can use 2 mini Bundts, 4 cupcake cups, 2 jumbo muffin cups or whatever small pan you like. When doubled it works nicely with the 6 cup Bundt pan, a 5 inch springform, 4 mini Bundts or a 7x4x3 loaf pan.
  • Whisk together flour and sugar in small mixing bowl.
  • In another small bowl, whisk together sour cream and baking soda. Add egg and vanilla ex, gently whisk to combine.
  • Add the butter and 1/2 of the sour cream mixture to the flour mixture and mix with electric mixer until moistened. Beat on low for about 45 seconds.
  • Add remaining sour cream mixture and beat on medium until well blended, 30 seconds. Don't over mix or you'll ruin the texture.
  • Pour into prepared pan and bake until browned well and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 25-30 minutes for the petit loaf pan. When doubled bake 40 minutes in the small loaf pan. Baking times vary slightly depending on which pan you use. The important thing is that the cake is browned and toothpick comes out clean when inserted in center.
  • Cool in pan 10 minutes on rack. Remove from pan and cool completely.

Tips:

  • To achieve a moist and fluffy pound cake, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This incorporates air into the mixture, which will help the cake rise properly.
  • Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the ingredients combine more easily and create a more even batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, which will result in a tough cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake rise evenly.
  • Do not open the oven door during baking. This can cause the cake to fall.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting. This will help the frosting set properly.

The strawberry variation adds a delightful sweetness and tartness. This cake is perfect for any occasion, and it is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
