Yummy dessert - rich, butter, thick, gooey pound cake - from The New Moosewood Cookbook
Ingredients
- 1 lb. (4 sticks) butter
- 3 c sugar
- 6 eggs
- 4 c flour
- 1 Tbs. baking powder
- ½ tsp. salt
- 1 c milk
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
Instructions
1) preheat oven to 350 F. Butter and flour the botton and sides of a 10-inch tube or bunt pan.
2) in a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar with an electric mixer at high speed until light and fluffy.
3) Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Set aside.
4) Sift together the dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Mix together the milk and vanilla. Add dry and wet alternately to butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry. Mix by hand - just enough to blend thoroughly without excess beating. If adding fruit - add with the last of the dry ingredients.
5) Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake 50-60 minutes, or until a sharp knife inserted all the way down comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10 minutes in he pan, then turn out onto a plate. Cool completely before slicing.
