How to Make Old Fashioned Coffee Pound Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
- Add 4 large eggs (or 4 large egg substitutes), one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup freshly brewed strong coffee.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients and the coffee to the wet ingredients alternately, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Beat until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes to 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cool, dust generously with powdered sugar and serve.
