Description:
Pound cakes were the cakes produced by our moms, our grandmothers, and our great-grandmothers. The name 'pound' was handed for this cake since the original recipes contained 1 lb of butter, 1 lb of sugar, 1 lb of eggs, and something pound of flour. As the pound cakes we make today frequently have different proportions in the original, they're still wonderfully wealthy, moist, and buttery having a lovely golden brown crust.
After I made the decision to examine Rose Levy Beranbaum's 'Cake Bible', this is among the recipes I made the decision to create. I had been intrigued by her Pound Cake recipe because it utilizes a slightly different approach to mix the batter. Rather from the more prevalent 'creaming' method in which the butter and sugar are beaten together first and so the eggs, adopted through the flour and milk are added, her recipe uses what we should call the 'one bowl' or 'quick method' (also more generally referred to as a 'dump' cake). What this means is all of the dry ingredients are first put in a mixing bowl after which 70 degrees butter, combined with the liquid ingredients, are beaten in to the batter. She informs us this process cuts down on the gluten formation within the flour therefore creating a cake with softer, more tender texture. I have to admit this cake comes with a gentle and tender crumb. But, if you are uncomfortable with this particular method of mixing the batter, you may make this cake while using creaming method with excellent results. The most crucial factor to keep in mind when utilizing this 'one bowl' technique is to possess all of the ingredients at 70 degrees and also to make certain you exactly do as instructed on mixing.
Regardless of whether you have a slice of the cake plain with only a dusting of powdered sugar or with whipped cream or frozen treats, it is in reality a king among cakes. You could also prefer to try toasting a slice or, a much better idea, would be to make grilled pound cake. Jane Rodmell in her own book 'Best Summer time Weekends' informs us to conquer an egg with two tablespoons all of milk and Grand Marnier after which dip each slice of cake into this mix, while you would French Toast. Then put the slices of cake around the grill, browning both sides. Serve for dessert together with fresh berries and whipped cream. Absolutely scrumptious.
