Isn't she lovely?

Tonight I made a pound cake. Not just any pound cake- my mom's pound cake. The best pound cake. We were going to make it together and ran out of time. She left me with the recipe and the ingredients. . . to do myself. Dangerous.


To make your own, here's what you'll need:
3 cups cake flour
6 eggs
2 sticks of butter
3 cups of sugar
1 cup sour cream
.25 tsp baking soda
.25 tsp vanilla

Allow the eggs and the butter to get room temp
Mix the butter and sugar together until 'not lumpy'

Add the eggs in- one. at. a time.

In a separate bowl, mix the sour cream and baking soda

In another separate bowl, measure out 3 cups of cake flour
over pour the measuring cup, and level off with a finger

-Preheat the oven to 325-

Add 1 cup of the flour to your butter/sugar mix.

{[Ok. I tried to mix this and flour went everywhere. every. where. So, I stirred it. Hope that's ok, mom.]}

Add in 0.5 of the sour cream/baking soda bowl
Then another cup of flour
Then the other 0.5 of the sour cream/baking soda bowl
Lastly, add the final cup of flour


Since I didn't beat the flour in, after it was all stirred up, I mixed it a while to make sure it was right.

Take a break to sign autographs give treats to your fans.

If you'd like, add vanilla extract in at this time. Stir, don't mix.

I have no idea how to take those things OFF the mixer. Ugh.

Grease the bundt pan and coat with flour. I don't have crisco or baking spray, so I used butta.

Pour mix into bundt pan.

Bake @ 325 for about 1.5 hours. Gas stove- 1.25 hours.

Lick the bowl, and clean the dadgum flour off your face! 

...and now, we wait.

While we were waiting, I got these videos of little miss being a "Chatty Chamblee" as we call her in this house. You have got. to watch them.


This is what she had been doing for about 15 minutes:



...and this is what she did when I tried to catch it all on tape the first time:



Isn't she lovely? 


The pound cake is done, and it looks fantastic.

I am so nervous... 

It turned out perfect! That does not happen to me! There is hope!

...wait. I still don't know how to get these things off the mixer. 

Krraaaaaiiiiiigggggg!!!!!


Make your own, and enjoy. If I can do it...


Until Next Time,
The Guff
