BEST MARBLE POUND CAKE RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Grease and flour a tube pan. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F
• In a separate bowl whisk the flour and baking powder to combine, set aside for later.
• Cream the butter with the paddle attachment in your mixer, gradually add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the eggs one at a time blending after each to incorporate.
• Add the vanilla and lemon to the mixing bowl. While mixing at medium speed, add the flour mixture alternately with the sour cream to the butter, sugar, & egg mixture. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. (I add the flour mixture three times and the sour cream twice). Mix until incorporated.
• Bake at 325 degrees for 60-70 minutes -Baking times may vary and so check on the cake as it nears the 1 hour mark. When an inserted toothpick comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached, it is ready.
• This makes approximately 8-8.5 cups of batter.
• Allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before flipping out onto wire rack.
• Combine sugar with 1 Tablespoon of milk. Add additional milk if needed for desired thickness.
• Load into a piping bag with the tip snipped away and drizzle onto your cake (or you can drizzle by the spoonful).
• **If glaze is too thick, add a bit more milk. If it is too thin, add a bit more powdered sugar.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. 
• Add eggs and vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
• In another mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda.
• Dump the dry mixture into the wet mixture, while mixing and alternating with buttermilk until just combined. 
• Pour batter into 2 greased/ floured loaf pans (Dimensions: 8 x4). Spread it out evenly with a spatula.
• Bake at 325 degrees for 60-70 minutes or until an inserted toothpick in the center comes out clean. Don’t forget to rotate your pan halfway through baking. This ensures the cakes bake and brown evenly.
• Allow the cakes to cool down for 10 minutes. Then, remove them from the pans and let them cool completely on a cooling rack.
• Cover in saran wrap and chill in fridge overnight. This way, you will be able to slice perfect smooth slices the next day without any crumbs. Enjoy!
