WORLD'S BEST SWEET POTATO POUND CAKE



World's Best Sweet Potato Pound Cake image

Sweet potatoes during the holidays are a must in our household. This time I decided to do something different other than a casserole or a pie. I used white sweet potatoes, but any sweet potatoes will do. You can eat this cake plain, topped with whipped cream, or topped with a glaze. Either way, this pound cake is delicious!

THE VERY BEST POUND CAKE



The Very Best Pound Cake image

I found this recipe in a church cookbook around 15 years ago and have been making it since. I never even thought about trying another pound cake recipe because I just don't think it gets any better than this. Make sure that you sift the flour into a measuring cup to total 4 cups. In other words; sift before measuring. I really don't know how much difference it would make but that's the way the recipe was written. And it is all purpose flour. The recipe in the cookbook didn't state what kind of flour so the first time I made it I used self rising. It rose beautifully and looked so pretty. For about a minute and a half. It fairly quickly deflated into a not so pretty mess.

BEST POUND CAKE

Here's the test kitchen's favorite recipe for a classic pound cake. If you prefer your pound cake with a slightly less dense texture, follow our instructions below for a lighter variation that incorporates baking powder and sour cream into the batter.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Yield Makes two 9-by-5-inch loaves

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound (3 1/4 cups) all-purpose flour, plus more for pans
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 tablespoon baking powder (lighter version only)
1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pans
1 pound (2 1/4 cups) sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
9 large eggs, room temperature
3/4 cup sour cream, room temperature (lighter version only)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter two 9-by-5-inch loaf pans; dust with flour, tapping out excess. In a bowl, whisk together flour and salt. (If making the lighter version, add baking powder at same time as salt.)
  • With an electric mixer on high speed, beat butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, about 8 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl. Reduce speed to medium; beat in vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each and scraping down sides of bowl. Reduce speed to low; add flour mixture in 2 batches (alternating with sour cream if making the lighter version), beating until just incorporated.
  • Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Tap pans on counter; smooth tops with an offset spatula. Bake until a cake tester inserted into center of each cake comes out clean, about 70-75 minutes. Transfer pans to a wire rack to cool 30 minutes. Turn out cakes onto rack to cool completely.
