Cake In: 5-4-3-2-1-1

Cake making ingredients
​Many people think of cake baking as a creative process, but I think of it as a science. Just the slightest tweak on a recipe can change the entire dynamic of your cake creation; possibly turning it into a biscuit or even worse, a glob of uncooked dough. One of my favorite things to bake is a pound cake, and little do people know it’s as simply as “4-3-2-1-1″!

POUND CAKE BASICS:
4 – Large Eggs , at room temperature
3 – Cups of flour (preferably self-rising or cake flour, sifted)
2  – Cups of Sugar
1 – Cup of Butter (2 sticks), softened
1 – Cup of Milk
*2 pinches of salt, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 2 teaspoons almond extract*
​
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 10-inch baking pan. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until creamy (the creamier the fluffier you cake will be). In a separate bowl, combine sifted flour and salt and set aside. Beat eggs with an electric mixer then combined to butter/sugar mixture. Add vanilla and almond extracts to wet ingredients, mix well. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Lastly, fold milk into mixture gradually. Once completely combined, pour mixture into a 10-inch pan. Bake for approximately 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes our clean. Let cool. Garnish with fresh cut strawberries and serve!

    My true passion is not just in the science and creativity behind the ingredients of food making but is also in the sense of togetherness and community that food and libations bring to table!
