MARY JARRELL'S POUND CAKE
This is a recipe for the BEST POUND cake I have ever had. This was my Grandmothers recipe. She recently passed at the ripe old age of 100 and I think she would have liked to share this with the world. She would bake 10 of these at a time and give them to everyone including the mailman, paperman and anyone she would meet. So since she is no longer to bake them, I will spread the joy she would have this way. Please give it a try. Serve it plan, with your favorite fruit, ice cream or chocolate sauce or whatever you would like. The possibilities are limitless. Or better yet make two and give one as a gift.

MARY'S DELICIOUS CREAM CHEESE POUND CAKE
I like to use all Land O'Lakes Pure Butter not Margarine; and Domino Sugar,& Philadelphia Cream Cheese. I use Swan's Down Cake Flour for all of my cakes instead of regular flour. This cake was 1st baked by me just on a whim. I was in the store with a good friend of mine one night and wanted some good pound cake. The store did not have any and I decided I would make my own. The next morning I did just that and it turned out perfectly and Delicious!!!. I called my friend told her to come over I had a surprise. She was thrilled. I was nominated every since to bake one of my famous pound cakes for most every birthday or Special Occassion or Church Dinner. I even sold them for awhile. I usually add a frosting to this cake, but it is so delicious that I have been known to cut it straight from the oven with a glass of cold milk. Whether you like frosting or just like it plain, you can't go wrong!! Everyone was pleased.

Steps:
- Place 3 sticks of Butter and Cream Cheese unwrapped in a bowl until it gets soft.
- Sift Swan's Down Cake Flour 5 Times before measuring into a Medium-Sized bowl. Set aside.
- Spray a Bundt Cake Pan or a 10-Inch Tube Pan with Bakers Joy. You may use shortening & Flour instead if so desired. Set Aside
- Measure 3 Cups of Domino Sugar. Set Aside
- Cream together Butter and Cream Cheese. Add Sugar one cup at a time until fluffy. Mix Well.
- Alternately Add 1 cup of flour and 2 eggs to Mix Beating on Low Speed to incorporate into mix. Do this until all eggs and Flour have been added to batter. Then Mix on High or Surge for about 5 Minutes.
- Stir in Flavor
- Pour Batter into either a Pre- Sprayed or Floured & Greased 10-Cup Bundt Cake Pan or a 10-Inch Tube Cake Pan. Bake in a Pre-Heated Oven at 300 Degrees for One and on-half hours or until toothpick inserted into center of cake come out clean. Cook Time may vary depending on your oven. Be Careful not to overcook resulting in a dry cake.
- May Frost Three Different Ways: I usually am requested to put Lemon, Vanilla, or Chocolate Frosting. For Vanilla I use 1 Box of Domino Confectioners Sugar; 1 Stick of Butter or Margarine (For Richer taste I use Butter) Approximately 1/4 Cup Milk; 1 tsp of Pure Vanilla Extract. In a large bowl with mixer at low speed, Combine Domino Confectioner's Sugar, Butter, Milk and Vanilla. Beat at Medium Speed for 1-2 Minutes until creamy. If desired, add more milk until frosting is at desired spreading consistency. For Lemon Frosting use same steps. I Add a little yellow food coloring for a perfect effect. Can Also Make a Lemon Glaze by adding lemon juice to Confectioners Sugar instead of Milk & Butter. For Chocolate Frosting I use 2/3 Cups Hersheys Baking Cocoa; 1 stick of pure butter (Melted); 1 box Domino Confectioner's Sugar; 1/3 cup of Milk; 1 teaspoon Vanilla Flavor Melt Butter. Stir in cocoa. Alternately Add Powdered Sugar and Milk, Beating to spreading consistency. Add small amount of additional milk if needed. Stir in vanilla. Makes about 2 cups of Frosting.
Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients. This will help your cake bake more evenly and prevent a dense, gummy texture.
- 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 prevent the batter from curdling.
- Gradually add the flour and baking powder to the batter, alternating with the milk. This will help prevent the batter from becoming too thick or lumpy.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake rise evenly and prevent it from sinking in the center.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off the cake.
Conclusion:
Mary's pound cake is a classic recipe that is sure to please everyone. It is a dense, moist cake with a rich, buttery flavor. The cake is easy to make and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Whether you are serving it for a special occasion or just as a simple dessert, Mary's pound cake is sure to be a hit.
