Recipe Introduction
This is one of the easiest pound cakes ever. Not as dense as most but very good and keeps well. It's four days old and doesn't taste stale. It's from the Pillsbury Bundt Recipes 1974.
List of Ingredients
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour, spooned into cup
2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon lemon or orange peel (I used orange but next time I will add more.)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup softened butter or margarine
1 cup dairy soured cream
3 eggsRecipe
Preheat oven to 325º. Grease and flour Bundt pan. (I used bakers spray.)
In large bowl combine all ingredients;blend at low speed 1 minute. Beat three minutes at medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally.
Bake 60 to 65 minutes. (I found 60 to be plenty in my oven.) Cool upright in pan for 45 minutes; turn on to serving plate. Cool completely.
It called for a powdered sugar Glaze of 2 cups powdered sugar and one or two Tablespoons lemon juice. It needed more liquid so I must of added about 4 Tablespoons of lemon juice. But could use water too to thin in down or orange juice I think. Or just leave it plain but I did like the tartness of the glaze.
I think it would be good with almost any flavoring.
Love these booklets as they give high altitude instructions on the recipes which was great when I worked in the mountains.
