Blue Ribbon Whipping Cream Pound Cake Recipes

BLUE RIBBON POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg and set aside.
• Cream butter until very light and fluffy, then add sugar gradually, creaming all the while. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition just enough to mix.
• Combine the milk and the flavoring (lemon, vanilla or lemon and vanilla). Add the sifted dry ingredients to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
• Pour into a well-buttered-and-floured 10-inch tube pan, filling to within about 2 inches of the top. Bake in a 300 degree oven for about 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until cake just begins to pull from the sides of the pan and a finger pressed gently on the top of the cake leaves a print that vanishes slowly.
• Cool cake upright in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then turn out on the rack and cool to room temperature before cutting. Serve as is or garnish, if you like with a dusting of confectioners' sugar and a few red, ripe strawberries

OLD FASHIONED BLUE RIBBON POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Allow butter and eggs to come to room temperature.
• Grease and flour a tube (I recommend this one.)or bundt pan. The cake is too large for a regular bundt pan. You need a 10-15 cup bundt pan like this which is larger than a standard bundt. If you don't have a tube pan or large bundt pan, you can make cupcakes with the extra batter. Don't fill the pan closer than 2 inches from the top or it may overflow. You can grease and flour, use non-stick spray, or I absolutely love this cake release product from Wilton! You may need to line the sides of the tube pan with waxed paper so that is above the top of the pan 2 to 3 inches as shown in the photo. This is a very tall cake.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Cream 2 cups butter until soft and there are no lumps.
• Add 3 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar and cream until light and fluffy.
• Add one at a time, beating until just mixed in before adding the next egg.
• Lower speed on mixer to low and slowly add 4 cups sifted all-purpose flour.
• Add vanilla and mix in completely.
• Spoon batter into prepared tube or bundt pan. (If using a bundt pan, make sure it's large enough for batter to double in size.)
• Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
• *PLEASE NOTE - COOKING TIMES VARY DEPENDING ON IF YOUR OVEN IS CALIBRATED AND IF YOU USE A LIGHT OR DARK PAN. TEST THE CAKE BEFORE THE RECOMMENDED TIME. IF THE CAKE IS TOO DRY, YOU BAKED IT TOO LONG.
• Test for doneness with a wooden pick. Insert pick in the center of the cake, if pick comes out clean or with dry crumbs, it is done.
• Remove cake and allow to cool on a wire rack 30 minutes before inverting onto a serving platter.
• The recipe is correct as written. There are no baking soda or baking powder in it.

BLUE RIBBON POUND CAKE

Steps:

• 1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the margarine and shortening until light and fluffy. Add sugar; beat until smooth. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each egg.
• 2. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together; add to creamed mixture, alternating with milk. Add flavorings; mix well.
• 3. Pour into a heavily greased and floured 10 inch tube pan. Place in a cold oven. Bake at 375 degrees for 1 hour. NOTE: The secret for this cake turning out well is to follow all the steps down to the baking. If you do not like vanilla or lemon flavoring, you could use whatever you'd like. I sometimes use almond or coconut.
