So great that you give a bit of a chemistry lesson during the process. Knowing why a certain step should be taken makes me pay more attention to the process. Cake looks yummy.
You've turned my 6 year old into an aspiring baker. He asks for Preppy Kitchen everyday after school. Now just got figure out how to manage his sweet tooth.

Just wanted to tell you that I made your recipe and used Greek plain yogurt in place of the sour cream. It is delish especially with macerated strawberries and red raspberries. I am 54 and never made pound cake before. Ty. :)
Those of us who grew up in Detroit may remember Sanders Gold Loaf Delight--a slice of Sanders pound cake, a scoop of Sanders ice cream, and Sanders hot fudge. Yum!
We used to dunk pound cake into milk and eat it. This was a recalled memory once you said you didn't need any butter on it. I went from that to "why would you need butter?" to "dip it in milk!" Thanks for the smile and fond memory of having pound cake with mom in the kitchen!
Here in Bavaria in my family we call this cake 'Eischwer' because you weigh the eggs and add the same amount of sugar and flour. Similar to the original British recipe. Yummy and a staple food.
This looks delish. And yes, toasted pound cake is amazing. The sugars caramelize into a delicious toasty top. I like to serve with fruit compote and whipped cream or ice cream
Thanks much, I tried it and wow it’s so good and delicious. Thanks again. Note: I was out of source cream and I substituted it with tablespoon of cream cheese.
Similar to the example you mentioned, toasting and adding cream cheese, I toast it, spread a bit of butter on it, and then spread a nice tart jam, red plum is my favorite.
Thank you for sharing this recipe! I love pound cake! Actually the historic recipes are not so dense as you might expect without baking powder. In fact, they would always use a copper bowl to whisk the eggs before adding them to the batter. The eggs and copper react together, which gives the cake a natural raising agent. This was so well known back then, that it's not mentioned in the old recipes. But it does work! 😀
I absolutely love a simple pound cake!! I like to add sugar to the sides of my bake pan instead of flour for a sugary crust and on the top before baking for another sugary golden top crust
Oh gosh, I am from the South, this is the first scratch cake I learned to make. Nothing beats a homemade Pound Cake. There are so many recipes, the Whipping Cream Pound Cake is one of my favorites.
Oh my gosh!!! Your Mexican chocolate stirrer!!! My mom brought one back from Mexico in 1959 from her honeymoon and i still have it!! You must treasure that🤎💛🤎💛
I saw this last night.Had to make it this morning.Wow what a great cake.Tasty cake without frosting.I will make again.So easy.Next time more vanilla for me.I made with a hand mixer No problems.🎉
Pound cake is my absolute favorite cake to bake and eat. Seems like I’ve been making pound cakes all my life 😅, and my Mom was a baker but, John showed me a couple of things I didn’t know ie. I always use a mixing blade to make my cakes “never” the whisker & I’ve always mixed my lb. cake till smooth. I’m going to try his way in a few minutes.♥️
Just put your pound care in the oven moments ago..., thanks for all the details. Sweetened raspberries and fresh whipped cream will go on-top. The only difference is I am using raw sugar, so some extra mixing was needed on the wet ingredients. But the finished batter looked awesome. Very fluffy. Hopefully the finished product holds up with that change.
John, please confirm if 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract is to be used or did you intend to mean 2 teaspoons? I look forward to making your pound cake recipe. I have tried many of your recipes and my family has loved them all.
When my mother in law would bake pound cake, she would make a lemon drip topping for it and drizzle it over the top. Once the topping set, she would serve the cake. That topping made the pound cake so good, especially when she used lemon juice in it to make it a lemon pound cake.
I'm excited to try this recipe! Would you please define what type of salt you used? Standard table salt, Morten, or perhaps Diamond Crystal?? The options are endless, and the differences are vast 😮. Thank you so much!
Yummy 😋 you had me at pound cake John. My mom always put a light coating of soften butter on a warm slice of homemade pound cake…..extra fattening but so freaking delicious. ♥️ Love & hugs.
I have made quite a few recipes from your videos. Such a variety of food and baked goods too. Thankyou for the variety and your charming personality. I made your shortbread cookies today. Just wanted to say thanks
I love your way of baking. I have tried a few of your recipes and all good results. Now, I'm kind of curious and I hope someone can let me know if I can use greek yogurt instead of sour cream?
Well, I know what I'm making this weekend! FYI -- saw a recipe for Cinnamon Sugar French Toast made with pound cake slices -- not sure if it was a modern version cake like this or the denser original one. Another great video. Thanks!
My God, this man is talented, but it caught me off guard when he said he might have to add five or ten minutes due to the pan being SMALLER. I'd have expected the opposite, tbough I'm a newbie, barely an amateur. I'm going to try this one. His peanut butter and chocolate cheesecakes make me look really good at work. Thanks, John!
Hi John, I have made this ( not exactly) pound cake a million times before, I just love it, so does everyone else lol I typically make it whenever I make a trifle, I used to buy jelly rolls but I find the pound cake much better tasting. Thank you for sharing, I will make this recipe next although I believe it is soooo very close, almost the same really. Thank you for sharing with us, I am looking forward to the next one. 🧚♀️Tina 🧚♀️
❤I can’t wait to try making this thank you!! I’m not feeling too well hear lately but as soon as can this looks n sounds amazing! You’re always so inspiring and great at explaining!!and fun to watch thank you ❤
I used a pound cake base to create a cassata. This Italian cake is 3 layers of cake, filled with cannoli cream in between layers and frosted with milk chocolate butter cream frosting. Decorate according to occasion you are celebrating. For instance, at Christmas, I decorate it like a Yule log. Or bake it in a bundt pan and decorate as I wreath. Easter, birthdays, even a pumpkin at thanksgiving. The cake is refrigerated and the cannoli filling adds a light creamy sweet component that elevates the simplicity of the pound cake. Yummy stuff!
I hope you can answer a question (although looking a the subscriber count maybe not), but I am wondering what is the weight of eggs in the US? 4 eggs can be anywhere from 200 to 280 g, and my pound cake, although not a bad one (taste was pretty good), felt a bit too moist and dense, and took an hour to bake, and once cooled is a bit bricky. Now, I know that ovens are not all the same, but I did have a thermometer in the oven that read 170-180C during baking. My eggs weighed 240 g. Can you comment on why you chose to deviate from the standard equal weights for each ingredient formula (1:1:1:1)? Thanks in advance if you doo see the comment. By the last sentence, I mean that the cake seems to have a lot more moisture than the standard pound cake formula, with the sour cream and eggs. I'll do both and compare anyway!
When I was a Girl Scout, there was a baking competition. I came in 3rd in my region for my pound cake. It was made in a tube pan/angel food pan. I love the loaf versions. Can this be made in 3X5 loaf pans?
I'm going to make this tomorrow with my daughter. I just need to run out and get some sour cream first. I've been jonesing for some pound cake for a while now, and my recipe is so old (from the 1980's) and cooking techniques have changed so much to make a better product, so I'm going with this. Wish me luck!
I just made this and its cooling, i did have to leave it in longer than you though cause the toothpick came out wet. Another 6 mins. maybe my oven isn't as hot, i don't have your fancy oven, i hope its good, it looks amazing and i hope its cooked in the middle.
I am so enjoying all of your baking videos. The one I’m watch one of them now that is from 8 months ago. Before I forget how are the boys doing. Your Christmas video with the your husband and the boys making Christmas cookies had me in stitches because the very same thing happened to me. Love to see more videos of you and your family. Sweet. Thanks 8:43
I JUST WATCHED YOUR POUND CAKE VIDEO YOU HAD ME SALIVATING I JUST MADE YOUR POUND CAKE AND ITS SOO DELICIOUS & MOIST & EASY TO MAKE THIS WILL BE MY GO TO POUND CAKE RECIPE FOR NOW ON AND I JUST SUBSCRIBED SO, I CAN WATCH ALL OF YOUR DELICIOUS YUMMY VIDEOS I WILL TRY MAKING THE OTHERS !!!:❤💯💯💯💯👍👍👍
I made it too and it took over an hour to bake. Not sure what happened but it didn’t turn out all that great for me. I followed the recipe to a tee, but it turned out very heavy and kind of greasy, or oily. Almost as through there was too much butter. Not sure. I’ll try again.
Same here. It took a lot longer to bake. It still seemed wet on the bottom when I took it out of the pan and greasy tasting. I think the sour cream is part of the reason it was so awful. I didn’t like the taste at all! 🤮 I also followed the recipe to a tee. A lot of time and waste of ingredients. It ended up in the garbage.
My god I love a good pound cake and that looks delish. The order I mix the ingredients is different -after creaming the butter and sugar I alternate a cup of sugar, 2 eggs, then a cup of flour 3 times. I wonder if it makes a difference? Also I dont preheat the oven. I’ll try your recipe to see how it turns out. Thanks!
£cake is my fav, I remember backin the 80's I was newly married & my sister in law used to make bundt cake, I think sugar flour and 6 eggs. I need a mixer since the last one broke. I will make this soon and let you know how it turned out
I'd dump the mixer altogether. We always add 1/8 to 1/4 tsp nutmeg -- amazing!! Great with sliced strawberries & sugar, in their own syrup then & made 1 hr. before serving, + slightly sweetened whipped cream. Also, at Xmas, red maraschino cherries, + maybe green ones too, put them in whole, dusted with flour 1st so they don't all sink to the bottom -- stir in gently -- makes the best cherry cake!!! And with lemon zest & a lot of lemon sugar glaze on top (punch holes in it 1st). Also with 1/2 to 1 cup shredded coconut, + a capful of coconut flavoring too, if you want. It's so versatile!! I imagine baked with blueberries would be great too, or with apple, peaches, pears, plums, lime zest & glaze, etc. Or orange?? Why not???!!! 😸 ♥️ 🇨🇦
I've heard about grilling a slice of pound cake before you eat it in a barbecue. Never tried that but it should be good. As for the original recipe, I make it with separated eggs and reduced amounts of sugar (any other ingredient:sugar=1:0.55, by weight). Save the egg whites and half of the sugar, make the batter the normal way, make meringue, fold it in, and bake the normal way. This method has never gone wrong. Give it a try.
You explain everything so well. I love when people explain the reasons WHY they are doing each step ❤
So great that you give a bit of a chemistry lesson during the process. Knowing why a certain step should be taken makes me pay more attention to the process. Cake looks yummy.

Just wanted to tell you that I made your recipe and used Greek plain yogurt in place of the sour cream. It is delish especially with macerated strawberries and red raspberries. I am 54 and never made pound cake before. Ty. :)
That’s a great idea ❤❤❤
🇧🇩💖🔛📉😍😍😍😍
Those of us who grew up in Detroit may remember Sanders Gold Loaf Delight--a slice of Sanders pound cake, a scoop of Sanders ice cream, and Sanders hot fudge. Yum!
I grew up in Pontiac, Troy and then East Lansing, Mi. I do remember that brand of products!!
Former Detroit girl here! I loved that, as well as a Sanders Bumpy cake...absolutely the best.
I grew up in New Jersey but that sounds really yummy 😊!
We used to dunk pound cake into milk and eat it. This was a recalled memory once you said you didn't need any butter on it. I went from that to "why would you need butter?" to "dip it in milk!"
Thanks for the smile and fond memory of having pound cake with mom in the kitchen!
I soak it in chai and eat it with a spoon
I always wondered where the name 'pound cake' came from. Thanks 👍 One of my favourites was always a lemon pound cake with a sticky coating on the top!

I love a sluce of a great pound cake turned into strawberry shortcake. 😋. You have inspired me to cook and bake again. Thank you kind sir!
I think strawberries and whipped cream is the best way to eat pound cake!
Making some for my strawberry shortcake cake today. Can’t wait.
Thanks much, I tried it and wow it’s so good and delicious. Thanks again.
Note: I was out of source cream and I substituted it with tablespoon of cream cheese.
Similar to the example you mentioned, toasting and adding cream cheese, I toast it, spread a bit of butter on it, and then spread a nice tart jam, red plum is my favorite.
This is my very favorite cake… love butter 💛✨🫶🏻🙌

I love cubing pound cake(store bought) and adding a small amount to my ice cream... it's a must try, so so good..
You’ve inspired me to make a brown butter pound cake. I’m gonna brown the butter and add the water back in.
That sounds heavenly!
I have a sour cream coffee cake I make and it's heavenly. I love what sour cream does to it. I must try the pound cake.
I would would love to make your sour cream coffee cake 😊
@@mariawatkins8015 Google: sour cream coffee cake tastes better from scratch.
That'll bring up the recipe I used.
I like pound cake sliced and toasted with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Thanks, John!.
I saw this last night.Had to make it this morning.Wow what a great cake.Tasty cake without frosting.I will make again.So easy.Next time more vanilla for me.I made with a hand mixer No problems.🎉

My Mom from Brooklyn would always make us toasted pound cake with ice cream, or slice it longways and add fresh whipped cream with peaches😊
I feel like you read my mind! I wanted to make one yesterday but I couldn’t find a good recipe! Thank you for this!!
Pound cake.....my fave with my morning coffee.
My mother always used a good pound cake for strawberry short cake. I am definitely going to use your recipe for mine.

I have made this cake many times and always use two tablespoons. It sounds like a lot, but remember, that’s the main flavor.
Icing? A little lemon juice and icing sugar...drizzle the top after it cools a little and YES!! Just saying.. thank you for this amazing recipe John..
When my mother in law would bake pound cake, she would make a lemon drip topping for it and drizzle it over the top. Once the topping set, she would serve the cake. That topping made the pound cake so good, especially when she used lemon juice in it to make it a lemon pound cake.
Yum! Want to eat this with some macerated strawberries and whipped cream! Thank you, thank you!
That’s what I did. Yummy
Pound cake instead of bread for French toast. Soo yummy and sweet
Incredibly my friend wow your recipes are Best of Best many thanks stay bless with your family ND much appreciated
This the most delicious cake for me 👍
I'm excited to try this recipe! Would you please define what type of salt you used? Standard table salt, Morten, or perhaps Diamond Crystal?? The options are endless, and the differences are vast 😮. Thank you so much!
So delicious. It’s easier to make than many butter cake recipes I have tried. Thank you very much.😊
I am DYINGGGG for you to make a baking cookbook ❤❤
I'm going to give this a whirl today for Easter with some strawberries. Might even throw in some lemon juice.
IT SMELLS BEAUTIFUL
I’m wondering if you used lemon zest and lemon juice instead of vanilla. Would that work
Lemon pound cake is amazing!💛 Lime zest could work too, thou I've never tried that.
I tried this recipe yesterday, and it turned very delicious. Thank you very much for sharing amazing and perfect recipes ❤
Another great video, John! You really make it fun and easy for me as a beginner baker to try new things and I can't wait to make this one!

Made this tonight. Had to bake 1 hour and 15 minutes. Used a Pampered Chef Stoneware Loaf pan if that would have made a difference. Delicious

I've made it today and... Great succes!!! It is delicious. I' m glad.
I love all your recipes thank you!
Hi, do you leave out the Baking Powder if using Self Raising flour (I'm UK based) !
Question I hate sour cream, do I need it? If I leave it out what else could I use and will leaving it out affect the bake? Thanks
I made a couple of your recipes and they turned out amazing. Was wondering if I can add amaretto to the pound cake recipe?
Thank you,John...just a great recipe...presented simply. Much appreciated
Hey John, have you ever tried those rubber attachments that go on the outside of the paddle attachment? If so, do they work?
Hello John. Can I add dried fruits and walnuts to the batter?
This is going to be my cheat day treat. Oh, you may come over to my place and bake for me any day.
My favorite cake ever 😋 would love to see chocolate version
How can you make this a lemon flavored cake?
This should be great for petit fours. I am trying this recipe for sure😁
£cake is my fav, I remember backin the 80's I was newly married & my sister in law used to make bundt cake, I think sugar flour and 6 eggs. I need a mixer since the last one broke. I will make this soon and let you know how it turned out
I put a slice in the toaster… yummy for breakfast !
Can I use a 9in cake pan? If so, how long would I need to be it for. Btw, I love ur vids❤
Simply beautiful😍✨, cake is full of yummy and knowledgeable 😁👌🙏.
I'd dump the mixer altogether. We always add 1/8 to 1/4 tsp nutmeg -- amazing!!

I Like mine toasted then quickly spread with salted butter!! THX!
My late aunt put mace in her pound cake. Really delicious
