Pound cake is very versatile and can be paired with many foods because of its flavor. fruit goes well, coffee would be excellent but you can pair it with whatever you like. Play around with glazes and toppings to your taste.
6 eggs, 6 egg yolks
1lb unsalted butter
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon water
1lb 2oz granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
14 ounces cake flour (sifted)
2 8x4 inch pans
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
It is very important that all ingredients are room temperature, if they are too cold nothing will mix right and the pound cake will not be delicious. I took all my ingredients out of the fridge the night before so in the morning they were good to go.
Place eggs, egg yolks, vanilla and water in a bowl and mix without incorporating air.
Place butter in a mixing bowl and beat the butter for 2 minutes, gradually add in the sugar, mix until the batter is fluffy and off white. With the mixer running, gradually beat the eggs in, this should take about five minutes. This mixing stage is important and what gives the pound cake its airiness so mix well and add gradually. Beat in salt. Gradually beat in sifted cake flour.
Put the mixture into the two greased 8x4 pans and bake for about 1 hour or until a skewer comes out clean. Once out of the oven take them out of the pan and let them cool completely.
Now the super tasty pound cake is ready to be eaten!
