  • Turn mixer to low and add in the flour and buttermilk in alternating portions until just combined, beginning and ending with the flour.
  • Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 20 minutes, and then invert the pan onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • To prepare the frosting, in the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the butter and honey together on medium speed for 1 minute, until smooth. Turn the mixer to low and slowly add in the powdered sugar. Once it's all added in, turn the mixer up to medium and beat for 30 seconds until creamy and smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
  • Spread or pipe the frosting onto the top of the cooled cake. Top with berries if desired.

CLASSIC POUND CAKE

We've always included pound cake on our family menus, and through the years, I've tried many recipes, I can honestly say this one is the best! It has a very fine, rich texture that makes it unusually smooth. That texture, plus fantastic flavor, makes this pound cake a special treat each time we serve it.
