WONDERFUL BUTTERY MOIST POUND CAKE!



Wonderful Buttery Moist Pound Cake! image

If you are searching for the perfect pound cake, then look no more, this is it!..it's one of THE best recipes for pound cake! This one has a sugar/nut topping sprinkled on top of the cake before baking. Just follow the steps carefully, mix baking powder with warm milk and the baking soda in the lemon juice, I have even used half whipping cream and half and half cream...and you will have a wonderful moist buttery pound cake that you will be making over and over again...I promise! Please, use butter only, and make sure that eggs are at room temperature, yes the flour is mixed in to the creamed mixture before the eggs, there is no mistake on the directions LOL! If you do not want to use the half and half cream, whole full-fat milk may be used in place, but the half and half cream produces a better cake. If you prefer a sweeter cake, then add in another 3-4 tablespoons sugar. I most always serve this with my caramel sauce recipe (#78088) drizzled over the cake.

Categories     Puddings

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 box devil's food cake mix
1 6 serving size pkg instant chocolate pudding mix, i used sugar free
1/2 c sugar
2/3 c water
1/2 c canola oil, or vegetable oil
1/2 c unsweetened applesauce
8 oz light sour cream
4 large eggs, at room temp.
12 oz pkg chocolate chunks, not chips
3 oz choclate chips, i used dark chocolate
1 tsp butter

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350. Spray a 12 cup bundt pan with a light spraying of cooking spray. Dust pan lightly w/ unsweetened cocoa powder. In lg bowl, with mixer on med speed, mix cake mix, pudding mix, sugar, water, oil and applesauce until creamy.
  • 2. Stir in sour cream, beat in eggs. Stir in chocolate chunks. Pour batter into pan and even it out with a spatula. Bake 1 hr, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. In my oven, it ook 50 mins.
  • 3. Take cake out of oven and let cool 10 mins. In a small microwave bowl, melt butter with chocolate chips until just melted. Drizzle over cake. I sometimes like to decorate the cake with thin slices of fresh strawberries. I didn't have any available at the time I made this.

Tips:

  • Ingredient Preparation: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. This promotes even blending and a smooth batter.
  • Mixing: Use a creaming method, starting with butter and sugar. Gradually add eggs one at a time, then alternate adding flour and milk in three additions, beginning and ending with flour.
  • Pan Preparation: Grease and flour your bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking. You can also use a baking spray with flour.
  • Baking Temperature: Preheat your oven to the specified temperature before placing the cake batter in. This helps create an even bake and prevents the cake from falling.
  • Baking Time: Monitor the cake's progress with a toothpick or cake tester. Insert it into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is done. Be careful not to overbake, as this can dry out the cake.
  • Cooling: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. This helps prevent the cake from breaking.
  • Glaze: If desired, you can drizzle a glaze over the cake once it has cooled. This adds a touch of sweetness and moisture.

Experiment with different flavorings, such as vanilla, lemon, or chocolate, to create unique variations of this classic dessert.
