Mixed in 10 Minutes! Basic Pound Cake step by step
- Soften the butter in a microwave. Microwave at 500 W for about 15-20 seconds..
- Preheat the oven to 160℃..
- In a bowl, cream the butter and sugar with an electric handheld mixer until it's pale. 1-2 minutes should be enough..
- Add the eggs and continue mixing with the electric mixer. The butter and eggs may separate, but do not worry!.
- Sift in the flour and fold it in with a wooden spatula. If you are adding baking powder, add it at this point..
- Pour the batter into the parchment paper-lined pound cake pan. Drop the pan on to the table to remove any trapped air. Make the center of the batter a little lower than the rest of it, and make sure to fill all 4 corners..
- Bake it at 160℃ for about 40 minutes. If you make a slit in the middle of the batter with a knife when the surface begin to brown, the pound cake will split at the top beautifully!.
- Insert a wooden skewer and if it comes out clean, it is done! Drizzle in some rum into the crack if desired. Take it out of the pan and cool it off..
- It tastes better the next day or later as the flavor permeates though the cake..
