Description: ❤️GET THE COOKBOOK:divascancook.com/cookbook Make the perfect classic pound cake EVERY SINGLE TIME! It's pound cake 101 and I'm going to walk you through every step! HOW TO MAKE THE BEST POUND CAKE RECIPE Preheat oven to 325 F. Grease a 10-cup bundt cake pan with a thin layer of shortening (I use butter-flavored shortening for this. It gives the crust a nice golden crunch and buttery flavor) and then very lightly coat it with flour. Set aside. (If using loaf pans use two 9.5 loaf pans) In a large bowl add sifted flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together well to make sure all of the dry ingredients are combined. Set aside. In another large bowl, cream together butter until fluffy. Add sugar gradually while mixing at low speed until combined and fluffy. Mix for three minutes (set timer) Mix in eggs one or two at a time just until combined. Keep your mixture on low speed. Mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients while alternating with the whole milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until batter is combined and fluffy. Keep the mixer on low speed. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Mix in the vanilla extract and lemon extract. Spoon batter evenly into prepared bundt pan. Shake and tap the pan on the counter to even out the batter and release any air pockets. Place on the middle rack and bake for 1 hour and 10-20 minutes until a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the pound cake comes out clean. Place pan on a cooling rack until it is cool enough to touch but still warm. Carefully remove the cake from the pan and place it on a wire rack to finish cooling. Slice the cooled cake and serve. *Remember pound cake is one of those desserts that gets better the next day. Pound cake is such a versatile dessert! It makes a great layer in dessert trifles, grilled for summertime strawberry shortcakes, or simply eaten plain or with fresh berries! I prefer it plain Jane or topped with hot, buttery peaches or syrupy strawberries and mounds of homemade whipped cream.
