Miss Dot’s pound cake recipe: Ingredients

Butter. For the best results for making this cake, use room temperature butter so that your sticks are slightly soft.

Although it is not specified in the original recipe whether you should use salted or unsalted butter, we have found great results with salted butter. 

Cream cheese. Cream cheese is one of the ingredients that help to make this cake taste so delicious. For best results, you’ll want to use room temperature cream cheese. 

Eggs. Any type of eggs will do as long as they are room temperature. 

Sugar. We recommend using granulated sugar for this recipe. When using granulated sugar it will give your cake a light fluffy texture and white color. 

Flour. You can simply use all-purpose flour for this cake recipe. There is no need to use cake flour unless you really want to. 

Vanilla. Using vanilla extract flavor this cake will give the overall cake a delicious flavor. 

Salt. For this recipe, you can simply use your favorite type of salt matter if it is idolized salt, kosher salt, or sea salt. 

How to prepare Miss Dot’s pound cake

First, please note that this recipe works best when all ingredients are at room temperature. Second, you will not want to preheat the oven for this recipe. 

The original instructions simply say to beat all of the ingredients together until they are combined.

Then pour them into a greased and flowered Bundt pan. Bake the cake starting in a cold oven at 300°F for approximately 1 ½ hours. 

These instructions will work, however, we are going to walk you through a step-by-step process that will help your cake turn out amazing.  

Now, to start preparing this pound cake, in a mixing bowl combine butter, and cream cheese. Beat these two ingredients together until they are a creamy texture. 

Add eggs and sugar to the mixing bowl, and continue mixing until they are combined. 

Next, add in the all-purpose flour a little at a time and beat gently until combined. 

Finally, and vanilla extract and salt, stir until mixed in. 

Prepare your Bundt pan by spraying all parts of the pan with cooking spray.

Add approximately 1 tablespoon of flour to the pan, and gently toss so that the entire pan is coated in the light coating of flour. 

Pour the Bundt cake batter into your Bundt pan and use a rubber spatula to smooth the batter evenly throughout the pan. Place your cake in a cold oven. 

When the cake is added to the oven, turn the oven on to 300°F and bake the cake for approximately 1 ½ hours, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

When the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and allow it to set for approximately 10 minutes. After allowing it to set for a few minutes, place your serving platter on top of your cake pan. 

Gently flip the cake over and allow it to rest for another 5 to 10 minutes. After it has set, gently remove the Bundt pan from on top of the cake. 

You are now left with your delicious Miss Dot’s pound cake that is ready to serve and enjoy. You can serve this cake both warm or after it has cooled. 

If desired you can add frosting, a dusting of powdered sugar, or any other toppings you desire to your pound cake.

How to Store

Room Temperature. To maintain the cake’s consistency, taste, and texture, it is best stored at room temperature for one to two days, although it may last as long as five days depending upon your room temperature and climate.

When stored at room temperature, you will want to first allow it to cool, then seal it in an airtight container for the best storage. Please note that if you add any additions to the cake such as frosting, or a filling, you will want to refrigerate the cake so that it is stored safely. 

In the refrigerator. To refrigerate a pound cake, you first want to wrap it in plastic wrap, or seal it an airtight container before refrigerating. Then place it in the refrigerator for up to one week. 

In the freezer. For longer storage times, you can also store leftover pound cake in the freezer if desired. First be sure to seal the pound cake securely by wrapping it in a plastic freezer bag, or sealing it in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn. Then place into the freezer for up to six months. 

How to Serve

You can serve Miss Dot’s pound cake fresh from the oven, cooled to room temperature, or chilled in the refrigerator. It is entirely up to your preference as to how this pound cake is served. If desired, you can enjoy this pound cake for a snack, dessert, or just because it’s good! 

Tips for Success

Use room temperature ingredients. One of the most important tips for making this pound cake successfully is to use ingredients that are at room temperature. This will enable your cake to turn out fabulous. 

Don’t overmix. For this cake recipe, you will want to be careful that you do not overmix the ingredients. Only mix the ingredients until they are combined. You can over-activate the gluten in the flour, which can change the overall texture of the cake by mixing it too much.

FAQs

What flour is best for pound cake?

To make Miss Dot’s pound cake recipe, all you need to use is your basic all-purpose flour. There is no need to get fancy and use cake flour unless you really want to. 

How do you make pound cake moist?

This pound cake is naturally made moist by the butter, cream cheese, and eggs that it contains.

Simply mix the batter until combined, being careful not to over-mix it, then store the cake in an airtight container so that it maintains its moisture content. 

Why is pound cake called pound cake?

Pound cake received its name because it was originally said to contain 1 pound each of flour, sugar, butter, and eggs. 

Any tips for getting cake to release from a Bundt pan?

First, be sure to grease the pan really well. This means that you get every inch of the inside of the Bundt pan with your cooking spray. Then we recommend tossing the cake pan with flour, which will also help the cake to release.

We recommend that you let the cake rest before flipping it upside down. Then once it is upside down, let the cake rest again. That should naturally release the cake from your Bundt pan. However, if it does not, you can use a sharp knife, and gently release the edges of the cake from your pan.

What ingredients can I add to this pound cake recipe?

You can add different flavorings to this pound cake if desired. You can also add fillings, such as a cream cheese filling, or frosting to the cake if you wish.
