Whipping Cream Pound Cake

Picture 3EVERYONE has a Family Pound Cake recipe, and some are safely guarded and touted as “the best”. This is mine…  a recipe I once said could make me rich if I owned a restaurant. You’ve said that too, right? This cake does have a special ingredient… heavy whipping cream.

When I think of this Poundcake, I think of holidays. Holidays are the one time where everyone splurges a bit on food and this one does just that. It’s a great gift as well, make it in smaller loaf pans and give them out at the office… you might just get a raise!

I can here the question now, “Kimberly, you talk about eating well… ” Listen a Dessert and the Holidays are for celebrating, but there are a few things I keep in mind.

I try and buy Naturally white flour not the “bleached”. I buy a less processed sugar not as “bleached” The eggs are free range from my sisters back yard (most all the time) so i know theirs no steroids or antibiotics that we don’t need. I use real butter… NO the FAT…. Well, the way i see it anything REAL is better than it’s “processed clone”. Vanilla is the MOST expensive part here, it’s tempting to buy the imitation but don’t. Here’s a helpful hint: Look for REAL Vanilla in places like Big Lots, Amazing Savings, TJ Maxx, etc… you can usually find a deal. I usually stock up when I see it like that.

Have you ever had a recipe you kept secret… what… why?

Enjoy one of our families most loved cakes. It’s at least 4 Generations going… but I’m still hanging on to my all time favorite, My Great Grandmother’s Tea Cakes- THAT will be my Million dollar pay day, Haahaaa.

Whipping Cream Poundcake:

1 cup Butter (Personally I use unsalted, but you know your taste best)

3 cups of sugar

5 eggs

4 tsps of Real Vanilla

3 cups Flour (all purpose)

1 cup  (small container) of Heavy whipping cream

 

Cream Butter & Sugar

Beat in eggs, one at a time

add Vanilla

Add Flour & Cream… alternating while mixing

Grease & flour Pan

Put in a COLD oven

set on 325

1 hour and 20 mins.

DON’T open the oven door

Let set and partly cool before cutting or pulling out of pan.

 

*This is also great with fresh cut strawberries and MORE whipping cream on top!

About kimberly kelly

I have been in media my whole life, a decade of Morning Radio Shows & a decade of Hosting Television Shows both cable & affiliate. Food is a passion & after sharing this BLOG with viewers... it kinda' grew a life of it's own. Nothing fancy t's just me - sharing what generation(s) in my family & friends & those in travels along the way shared. Food is an expression of ones self and a humble offering to loved ones. One of the best expressions of love. You get "One Trip"... skimp on the material things in life, food is your lifeline though -never skimp on your food! Food can be a positive affect on your health, but also the power to make one feel love. I hope I can show you some of both. Growing & cooking outdoors, is a reminder where our food should come... the ground & not just a shelf.

      Cheri… I KNOW. Growing up my dad was self employed and had to be in the hospital for almost a month. They put a lean on our house and when he paid it off… He had 5 kids, No house and 300 dollars. I TRULY know and I say THANK YOU to God everyday for what he gives me, knowing it can be gone at anytime. Hang in there… God IS Good.

    I have the very same recipe. It has so much good crust on the outside and is so moist on the inside. It’s the only pound cake I ever make.

    Kim–
    I love everything you do–but a small correction. 2 sticks of butter is not 1 pound–it is 1 cup as stated in the written ingredients.

  9. John says:

    I’ve been thinking about switching to a gas cook top, but keep my electric oven. If you had only one oven which would you rather have, gas or electric?
