SPICED POUND CAKE

Spiced Pound Cake image

From the first time my mother baked this cake years ago, it became a family favorite. Fruit and spices add a twist to a traditional pound cake, and the glaze has a hint of lemon. You can substitute other flavors of baby food, like apricots, for the peaches. We often serve this dessert for Thanksgiving.

This is a rich, moist and delicious spiced pound cake I have had since 1974 and always make it during fall and winter months. The cake needs no frosting except maybe a dusting of confectioners sugar.

Tips:

Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing and a smooth batter.
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.
Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
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.
Check the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

This spiced pound cake is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed on its own or with a variety of toppings, such as frosting, fruit, or whipped cream. It's perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a special celebration. With its moist texture, flavorful spices, and sweet glaze, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
