One 9 or 10-inch cake or 2 loaf cakes

A deliciously rich and buttery pound cake that's been in our recipe archives for decades. This is one of those recipes that's handed down from generation to generation. Serve it warm with ice cream, with a berry soup for dipping, or just plain with a cup of coffee. No matter which way you go, you can't go wrong. 

Un Panqué decadente y rico servido con una guarnición de un caldo de bayas para que bañe. Un dulce fanástico servir durante la primavera y el verano.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, soft
  • 3 cups Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour*
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup milk

Red Berry Soup

  • 1/2 cup Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup strawberries
  • 1 cup any berries-raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, black or red currants
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons raspberry or kirsh (cherry) liquor
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • *Spoon & Sweep method: Use a spoon to fill measuring cup with flour until required amount is obtained. Scooping measuring cup directly into flour bag will firmly pack flour resulting in too much flour required for recipe.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Butter and flour a 10-inch tube or bundt pan, or two 4 1/2 x 8 inch loaf pans, or a mini bundt pan. Set aside.
  3. Cream butter until creamy, add sugar and cream further. Add eggs one at a time waiting for previously added egg to be fully incorporated. Scrape in between additions. Cream until light and fluffy. Add extract and vanilla.
  4. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Add 1/4 of flour and combine, add a 1/3 of milk and combine. Repeat with flour and milk until all is incorporated.
  5. Scrape batter into prepared pan(s) and place in oven. Bake for approximately 70-80 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. If cake becomes too dark cover with foil.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before removing from oven. If desired serve as is or with red berry soup.
  7. For red berry soup boil water and sugar and remove from heat. Let cool. Pour cooled syrup in a blender and blend with strawberries to a smooth puree. Remove from blender. Fold in remaining berries, vanilla and liquor if using.

I love pound cakes and always in search of other recipes. This recipe works, very well. In-fact the recipe is great is great. I found it too sweet though. The only thing I would do is reduce the amount of sugar slightly! But in overall it is a sweet, moist, beautiful cake!!! This is the first cake I learnt to bake while I was 12 yrs. It is great to see how the recipes have evolved over time and have a few twists to them. I was quite delighted, so were my guests.

Ingredientes

  • 2 barras o 1 taza de mantequilla sin sal, suave
  • 3 tazas de Dixie Crystals Azúcar Granulada Extra Fina
  • 6 huevos grandes, a temperatura del ambiente
  • 1 cucharadita de extracto de almendra
  • 2 cucharaditas de vainilla
  • 3 1/4 tazas de harina multiuso (spoon and sweep method*)
  • 1 cucharadita de polvo de hornear
  • 1 cucharadita de sal
  • 3/4 taza de leche

Para hacer el Puré de Bayas

  • *Método de cuchara y barrido: use una cuchara para llenar la taza de medir con harina hasta obtener la cantidad requerida. Si coloca la taza de medir directamente en la bolsa de harina, empacará la harina con firmeza y se necesitará demasiada harina para la receta.

Direcciones

  1. Caliente el horno a 350° F.
  2. Engrase y espolvoree un molde Bundt o de tubo de 10 pulgadas o dos de pan de 4 1/2 x 8 pulgadas, póngalos a un lado.
  3. Bata la mantequilla y la azúcar hasta que queden cremosas. Añada los huevos uno a la vez esperando a que cada huevo quede completamente incorporado antes de añadir el próximo. Raspe el tazón cada vez que añada un huevo. Bata hasta que la mezcla esté cremosa y espumosa. Añada el extracto de almendra y la vainilla. 
  4. Cierna juntos la harina, el polvo de hornear y la sal. Añada una cuarta parte de la harina y combine. Añada un tercio de la leche y combine. Repita la harina y la leche hasta que esté incorporada completamente.
  5. Vierta la mezcla en cada uno de los moldes que preparo anteriormente y  póngalos en el horno. Hornee por aproximadamente 70 a 80 minutos o hasta que el centro vuelva a subir cuando lo presiona o hasta que un palillo introducido en el centro salga limpio. Si el ponqué se pone muy oscuro antes de tiempo, cÚbralo con papel de aluminio.
  6. Saque el ponqué del horno y déjelo enfriar por 10 minutos antes de sacar del molde. Si desea, puede servirlo tal como está o con el puré de bayas.
  7. Para hacer el puré de bayas, hierva el agua y la azúcar y quítelo del fuego. Déjelo enfriar. Vierta la mezcla en la licuadora y licue con las fresas hasta hacer un puré.  Sáquelo de la licuadora y añádale el resto de las bayas, vainilla y el licor si lo desea.
