Best Small Pound Cake Recipes

SMALL POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Important: Let all ingredients become room temperature.
• Cream butter and sugar. Beat until fluffy. Add one egg at a time and beat after each addition.
• Measure flour after sifting and add baking powder. Mix dry ingredients alternately with milk and add vanilla. (Lightly fold in dry ingredients--do not beat.).
• Grease and flour a small tube or bundt cake pan. Pour batter into pan. Bake in a 325 degree oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Let cake cool in pan for 15 minutes before inverting.
• Best served next day after cake has had time to mellow.

SMALL LEMON POUND CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place a piece of parchment paper in the bottom of a 9" loaf pan, then grease and flour the pan & paper. Set aside.
• 2. Beat butter, sugar and salt until well mixed. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Cream together until light and fluffy.
• 3. Add flour a little at a time and mix by hand after each addition. Do not use a mixer at this point. Stir in lemon juice/zest just until combined. You may use a mixer for no more than 10 seconds at this point, just to make sure you have it mixed thoroughly.
• 4. Bake at 325 for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Special note: The original recipe stated to bake at 350 for 55 minutes, but in my oven it burned, so the above temperature and time is adjusted to my oven. Oven temps vary, so use your own judgement.
