GRANNY'S POUND CAKE

Granny's Pound Cake image

This is my Granny's pound cake. One year my dad took one to work with him. All of the men he worked with were asking him if they could buy a cake from Granny. She sold those cakes for $20 each and had to tell my dad she wasn't making any more before they left her alone. That's how she got her Christmas money that year, and it was a very good Christmas. She passed away about 2 years ago, and I thought this recipe was lost. Fortunately my Grandma had it and now I have it. Here it is.

1 cup margarine, softened
1/2 cup shortening
3 cups sugar
1 cup condensed milk
3 cups all-purpose flour or 3 cups cake flour

Grease bunt pan and pour in batter.
Put your batter in a COLD oven.
Bake at 300 degrees for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or till toothpick comes out clean.

"Sweat" the cake, by wrapping it in wax paper and tinfoil, until it cools. This will make it moist. It won't be anywhere near as good if you don't do this.

After making more of these pound cakes than I can count over the holidays, I've decided to share this fabulous recipe. This is my grandmother's, and it definitely packs on the pounds! Don't leave this lying around your house, because you will eat it all! I also decorate the top with colored sugars depending on the holiday or event.

Time 2h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 cups white sugar
6 large eggs, at room temperature
3 cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 tablespoons powdered sugar, or to taste

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
Beat butter with an electric mixer until soft and creamy, scraping the sides of the bowl as you go, about 2 minutes. Gradually add in sugar on medium speed. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition until the yellow disappears from the previous one.
Combine flour and baking soda in a bowl. Add sour cream to the creamed butter mixture alternately with the flour, ending with sour cream. Beat in vanilla and almond extract just until combined. Pour batter into the prepared cake pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool, about 30 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar.
