Butter Pound Cake - Perfect for carving.

Quite a few people have an image of a dry cake when you say Pound Cake.  But that is not necessarily true.

If made correctly this can be a very delicious cake and absolutely easy to make.

As you can see in the pictures below I'm not using my electric mixer too, my 4 1/2 year old son is mixing this cake in a bowl. It's that easy.  Oh well, he thinks he's making the cake (with a little help from me).



I have used this recipe not only for my sculpted cakes but also for wedding cakes. It is really a very light in texture but still good for carving.

This is very similar to a Sponge Cake but just a bit more dense which makes it easier to carve as well as perfect for tiered cakes.

Since this is a butter cake, the most important ingredient is obviously the 'butter' so its best to use a good quality butter.



This recipe will make one 8" layer cake about 2 inches high.
