ORIGINAL POUND CAKE FROM 1700'S ENGLAND

My mother made this recipe or some variation of it for over 60yrs. once a week. When I was in college my weekly "care package" always included this cake. In her letter she always included the same note:"be sure to share, I don't want you wearing these pounds home." I made a lot of friends from this treasure. Don't forget to have a "toasted pound" for breakfast. ummm! 1#butter, 1#flour, 1#sugar, reason for name. If recipe has mace in it, count on it coming from Low Country in S.C.

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a 900g loaf tin with parchment paper (mine was 19cm x 9cm x 6cm). Put all of the ingredients except those for the icing into a large bowl and beat together, either using an electric hand whisk or a wooden spoon until smooth and combined. Pour the mix into the loaf tin and spread evenly with the back of spoon. Bake for 40 - 45 mins.
  • Once out of the oven, leave to cool and make the icing. Combine the icing sugar and vanilla paste with three tbsp of water - you may need more but add it gradually to get a thick icing. Spread it over the top of the cake; it's fine if it drips down the edges. Allow to set and then slice.

HOW TO MAKE THE ULTIMATE POUND CAKE | KING ARTHUR BAKING

From kingarthurbaking.com
  • Use room-temperature ingredients. A cardinal rule of cake baking is to begin with room-temperature ingredients (unless otherwise called for in the recipe).
  • Measure your flour properly. When it comes to pound cake, it’s all about ratios of ingredients. After all, pound cake got its name because early versions were made by using a pound each of flour, eggs, sugar, and butter (or another fat).
  • Use the right pan (both in size and material) Don’t just grab the first pan you see in your pantry and pour in your pound cake batter. This is another moment for careful choices.
  • Don’t overbake. Once the pound cake is in the oven, take a deep breath but don’t go too far away! The last thing you want is to forget about your cake and let it become toasted and dry.
  • Use a cake soak. If the idea of soaking a cake is new to you, buckle up for a whole new baking adventure! Cake soaks or soaking syrups are flavorful liquids, usually simple-syrup based, that are brushed onto cake after it comes out of the oven.
