Maple Raisin Pound Cake image

Pound cakes got their name because they originally were made with a pound of flour, a pound of eggs, a pound of sugar and a pound of butter. This cake, with its Canadian twist of raisins and maple syrup, is served with a maple sauce but it can be omitted, if you HAVE to :) This is another recipe by Lucy Waverman, who happens to be my favourite chef!

Time 1h25m

Yield 1 10" cake

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup butter, at room temperature
2 cups granulated sugar
6 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup plain yogurt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup raisins
2 teaspoons grated lime rind
2 tablespoons real maple syrup
1 cup whipping cream
1 cup maple syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325ºF
  • Butter and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or tube pan, or a 10-inch springform pan.
  • Using an electric mixer or by hand, cream butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in sugar. Beat at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt and baking soda.
  • Add flour alternately with yogurt, beating after each addition, ending with the flour. Add vanilla, raisins, lime rind and syrup. Beat a few seconds longer or until smooth. Do not overbeat.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth out the surface. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean and the cake is evenly brown.
  • Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool completely on wire rack.
  • Combine cream and syrup in a large pot over high heat. Bring to a boil and boil for 3 minutes or until slightly thickened. Cool. Serve over slices of cake.
