Best Fannie Farmers Pound Cake Recipes
GRANDMOTHER'S POUND CAKE
The recipe is from Fannie Farmer Cookbook (1972 edition). It is a buttery dense cake. I have been making it for years. My family loves this cake. My daughter is especially fond of the ends. I have made it to serve plain or as an ice cream cake topped with a frozen fruit mixture. You must use an electric mixer to get the batter light and fluffy.

FANNIE FARMER'S POUND CAKE
I found this recipe on television over 20 years ago. It consistently is the best pound cake I have made. It has been adapted for modern times. A true pound cake is a pound each of butter, sugar, flour and eggs. This recipe is half.

FIELD DAY POUNDCAKE
Every cook needs a go-to poundcake recipe, and this one, adapted from Denise Moseley of Houston, is just that. It's nothing fancy - just butter, flour, sugar, eggs, vanilla, heavy cream and salt - but the result is equally befitting a school bake sale or a fancy dinner party. By definition, it is a true poundcake (it calls for a full pound of butter), yet despite its richness, it is still remarkably light and tender. For better or worse, it's the sort of cake you wouldn't mind snacking on all day. (A few tips: Be sure to butter and flour the pan meticulously, and let the cake cool for a full 10 minutes before unmolding it from the pan. Also, do take time to stir the flour in by hand until just combined. This ensures a tender, delicate crumb. Lastly, if you're the type of person who sprinkles salt on their chocolate chip cookies before baking, consider adding an extra pinch or two of salt to the batter.)

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Generously butter and flour one 12-cup Bundt pan or two 8.5-inch-by-4.5-inch loaf pans, and set aside.
- Using an electric mixer or by hand, cream together the remaining butter and sugar. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla and salt.
- Gently stir in the flour by hand, adding it very gradually; this will help to keep the cake tender. Add the cream and stir just until thoroughly combined.
- Pour the batter into the pan or pans and smooth the top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn the cake out onto a rack to cool completely.

FANNIE FARMER GRIDDLECAKES
This recipe comes from an old old Fanny Farmer cookbook that I bought at a yard sale. An inscription inside was dated Dec. 25, 1945. These pancakes, or griddlecakes if you will, are the bomb and the only recipe I will use. Do give it a try...if you like a pancake that has lots of body then you won't be dissapointed.

Steps:
- Mix together the dry ingredients. Add the beaten egg and melted butter and stir vigorously, adding more milk, if necesary, to make the batter just thin enough to pour. Drop by spoonfuls or pour from pitcher onto heated and greased griddle or frying pan using medium heat. When full of bubbles and the underside is browned, turn and brown the other side. Serve with maple syrup and additional butter.
