Southern Pound Cake
There is just something about baking a pound cake on a Sunday that screams comfort and relaxation to me.
I think it’s because baking a pound cake is a labor of love. It is a long process that forces you to slow down a bit.
To make a good pound cake, you have to let the eggs and butter come to room temperature, make sure you beat the butter and sugar for at least 5 minutes, add eggs one at a time and bake it at a low temperature for an hour or more. This long process is the epitome of a lazy, cozy Sunday in the South.
This pound cake is full of flavors (4 flavors to be exact) as it includes vanilla, butter, almond and lemon extracts.
It is delicious served by itself, warm with ice cream or even for breakfast with a cup of coffee!
Next time you want to slow down a bit, I encourage you to make a pound cake!
