Vanilla Pound Cake Recipe

February 21, 2012 by Sharmilee J 77 Comments

I had already posted it in Divyas space as a guest post, now posting it here too. This cake was a instant hit and hubby loved it so much. Since the pieces were bite sized mittu too enjoyed it.
Vanilla Pound Cake Recipe

This is one of the nofail baking recipes so thought to share with you all. I got the recipe of basic vanilla sponge cake from my cousin long back and tried it here. I modified the same recipe a bit to get this pound cake. The cake has a slight crusty top and the very soft inside, sure one of the best cakes I’ve baked so far.
Vanilla Pound Cake Recipe

Vanilla Pound Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

  • Maida – 100 gms
  • Butter – 100 gms (at room temperature)
  • Granulated Sugar – 100 gms
  • Eggs – 2
  • Vanilla extract – 1 tsp
  • Baking powder – 1 tsp
  • Milk – 2 tbsp (optional)
  • Salt – 1/8 tsp (optional)
Vanilla Pound Cake Recipe
Method:
1. Sieve maida and baking powder twice for even distribution. Set aside. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat the eggs until fluffy.

2. Then add milk to eggs, then add this to the butter sugar mixture and mix well. Add vanilla essence, salt and give a quick stir. Then add maida baking powder mixture in batches.

Vanilla Pound Cake Recipe Step2
3.The batter should resemble like the one shown below(very creamy batter). Preheat the oven at 176 deg C for 10mins. Meanwhile grease the pan with butter and sprinkle little maida over it. Then tap to remove the excess. Now pour the batter into the pan and bake the cake at 176 deg C for 35-40mins or until the top turns golden brown.
Vanilla Pound Cake Recipe Step3
You can insert a tooth pick and check, if it comes out clean then your cake is ready. Keep aside for 10mins then invert. Cool down completely then cut into slices and enjoy.

This is the first time I used my bundt pan though I got it 2months back. I was thrilled to see the cake beautifully unmould from the cake pan. This time I just greased with butter and maida, didnt use butter paper.

Vanilla Pound Cake Recipe

My Notes :
  • I read in an article that for easy unmoulding : Once the cake pan is taken from the oven, place the pan over a wet cloth for 10mins then invert , the cake comes out clean.
  • I added milk just to make the batter little runny as mine was very thick. You can just skip it too. Adding salt always lifts up the sweetness more.

    A simple cake, good for everyone who wants to bake in a jiffy and have a yummy one too. Adding milk makes it more moist , I suppose.

    The round shape cake tin( actually mine is a pudding tin), was bought in hyderabad ages ago in Ajanta crockery Secunderabad.

    Thank you very much for your recipe! I can't wait to try it out. I rarely trust measurements and methods given in most of the food recipe (especially if it is not by South Asians). But somehow, I really find your overall approach very convincing and reliable. It makes you feel like you can't go wrong. I consider myself an expert cook and yet I find very hard to follow someone's recipe and get the same result. With yours I am very optimistic 🙂

    hi ,
    i have a doubt my baking tray or tin is very small so the whole batter will not fit in. will there be any problem if i do it turn by turn ? i mean the batter kept for sometime aside,should i refrigerate or something.

    Dear Sharmilee,

    I have tried few of your cake recipes , and with regards to taste there had been no compromise, they come out very tasty. All my cakes get baked at least 10-15 minutes faster than the time specified in the original recipe. So I always keep a close watch of the cake when it is getting baked. My cake after 15- 20 minutes of baking rise very well and immediately after few seconds become absolutely flat. Where am I going wrong? Pz guide.
    I tried pound cake today, it turned tasty . But when I tried to take it off my greased non-stick cake pan it started to crumble. Pz help. Tks a lot

    Oh regarding the timing it depends on each oven as mine is an OTG it always takes 5-7mins extra than the orginal. From what you tell looks like the batter consistency should be the problem…but couldnt tell exactly where it goes wrong.

    Dear Sharmilee..Today i wanted to try this cake for my lil one as i have a new microwave and starting to try my hand at baking. I had all the ingredients measured and ready. However i noticed that when i added the milk+egg mixture to the butter+sugar mixture i found that it immediately curdled…and my cake went downhill after that.
    Was something amiss when i mixed both the mixtures? Also should the sugar dissolve completely in butter, cause whisking it for more than 30mins still the sugar was granulated.
    Please advice.

      If you pour hot milk it might curdle…make sure both milk and egg are at the same temperature when you start beating…..
