The Perfect Pound Cake


Well don't go by the name it is truly hard to class something as perfect, but a pound cake this is. I found the outside to be a little dry. I acquired the recipe from http://sweetmelissasundays.wordpress.com/ and you can go there for the complete text if you wish.

In large bowl combine:
3 eggs room temperature
1 cup sugar
whip until smooth

In medium bowl combine:
1 3/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
wisk until well blended

In small bowl combine:
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 1/2 tsp vanilla

Melt and cool to warm:
6 Tbsp unsalted butter

Take 1/3 of the flour and sift onto the egg mixture and wisk in gently until blended then pour 1/2 of the cream mixture and again mix until blended, repeat until flour and cream are mixed in. Be careful not to overbeat and add in the butter gently folding. Once well blended pour into greased and floured loaf pan or other baking pan.

Bake in pre-heated 350 degree oven for 50 minutes. If doing mini cakes cut time in half.
