Whipping Cream Pound Cake

OK, yes, I admit, I have a FOURTH pound cake recipe. The base recipes are all slightly different, though I suspect in all honesty I could fuse them all. This one benefits from the addition of some cream - and it's also the least fussy of them all - no separating eggs or need for cake flour.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 6 eggs
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tsp vanilla

Directions

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the softened butter and sugar on medium high until white and fluffy, at LEAST five minutes.
  2. Reduce speed to slow and add the eggs one at a time, incorporating each egg fully before adding the next.
  3. Add the flour and cream in alternating portions. Add in vanilla.
  4. Dollop into a greased 10 cup Bundt pan.
  5. Place in the oven and THEN turn the oven to 325°. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack. Let cool (about 2 hours) and then serve (barely warm or at room temperature).

Notes

  • Halve this and use a 6 cup Bundt pan.
