Hello All on this beautiful blue sky, North Florida day! As I sit here, waiting on Fed-Ex, I thought about this old recipe. And, yes it brings those wafting smells to my memory. Those were the days!
Onward to the recipe.
4 sticks of salted butter (room temp) and 3 1/4 c self-rising flour
9 large eggs and 2 c sugar
2 bread pans (short ones) spray with baking spray
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
You could use a large bunt pan if you want the bunt-shaped pound cake.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
Add in eggs, one at a time, and mix in.
Add in the flour in small amounts at a time at a low speed.
.
Spread the pound cake mixture into the prepared loaf pans Bake @ 350 for 50 minutes in loaf pans and check with a toothpick for doneness.
If using a large bunt pan then bake for 70 minutes and then check for doneness. If the cake is getting too brown during the baking time, then make a tent out of aluminum foil and put it on top of the cake, and keep baking. Very lightly sprinkle with powdered sugar, when ready to serve.
If, you have never tried a pound cake, this is a good one to start out with!
Thanks for stopping by today. If you like a recipe, then please share it with others. Connie B. #CONNIEBRECIPESWISDOMFORPENNIES
