Time 1h55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 ¼ cups white sugar
¾ pound unsalted butter, at room temperature
6 extra large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup 1% milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 12-cup fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
  • Place sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl. Cream together using an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or a hand mixer, on medium speed, until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating for 45 seconds after each addition. Add vanilla extract and beat for 30 seconds.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Add 1/2 of the dry ingredients to the butter and egg mixture, mixing on low speed, until just blended. Add 1/2 cup milk and beat on low speed until just blended. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula between each addition. Repeat with remaining dry ingredients and milk.
  • Pour batter into the prepared baking pan, filling no more than 2/3 full. Smooth the top with a spoon or a spatula.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake is just starting to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 1 hour and 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 15 minutes before inverting onto a plate. Allow to cool completely before serving.

SEMI-HOMEMADE VANILLA POUND CAKE



Semi-Homemade Vanilla Pound Cake image

This is the best short-cut pound cake I've ever tasted! I intended to glaze it if it turned out good but changed my mind. It's so stinking good! The almond extract is the secret. I used a full teaspoon the first time and it was too much. The second time, I only used 1/2 teaspoon and it was perfect!

Poke holes on the top of the cake with a fork. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and reserved strawberry juice. Add the sliced strawberries. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute. Remove from the heat; stir in extracts. Drizzle some of the sauce over the warm cake. Serve cake with remaining sauce and homemade whipped cream.
