MOIST, DENSE, HEAVY CREAM POUND CAKE



Moist, Dense, Heavy Cream Pound Cake image

I don't think i will try baking another pound cake after making this one! It has the smoothest texture that is both dense and moist. This is easily put together, and it is hard to mess up! To your own flavor preference, you may add additional flavors such as butter or maple extracts, or 2 tsp. of lemon or orange juice with the zest. let eggs and butter sit out at room temp. for 45 minutes to an hour before making. cake flour is used to increase the smooth texture. Just be aware that you might have the whole thing in one sitting! A friend had this served with peanut butter, but I'm sure this would be delicious served with any icing or spread, even whipped cream.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients for a more consistent batter and better texture.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help 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.
  • Use a combination of all-purpose flour and cake flour for a lighter, more tender crumb.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Cool the cake completely before frosting. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

This moist and dense pound cake is the perfect dessert for any occasion. With its rich flavor and creamy texture, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Follow these tips to make sure your pound cake turns out perfect every time.
