This is my recipe for Sara Lee Pound Cake. This is an easy pound cake to make, and it tastes so much better when you make it fresh. This pound cake can be the base for strawberry shortcake, or it can go well with a cup of coffee.
Unsalted butter/Unsalted butter stick | 1/4 Pound | |
Sugar | 3/4 Cup (12 tbs) | |
Eggs | 3 | |
Cake flour | 1 Cup (16 tbs) | |
Powdered milk | 2 Tablespoon | |
Corn syrup | 1 Tablespoon | |
Lemon juice | 1/2 Small (Juice of 1/2 a small lemon) | |
Salt | 1/4 Teaspoon | |
Vanilla | 1/2 Teaspoon | |
Nutmeg | 1/4 Teaspoon | |
Baking powder | 1/2 Teaspoon | |
Mace | 1/4 Teaspoon (Optional) |
GETTING READY
Allow butter to reach room temperature, if you can try to use unsalted butter.
MAKING
Cream sugar and butter together until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time and mix well.
Add in flour, powdered milk, baking powder, and corn syrup. Beat each in well. Add juice of half a lemon, salt, vanilla, nutmeg, and mace.
Make sure everything is well blended, and pour into a greased loaf pan.
Bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes, checking for done-ness by inserting a toothpick and seeing if it comes out clean. You almost want to under bake this.
