How to Make Wonderful Buttery Moist Pound Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch springform pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 2 cups granulated sugar for 6 minutes, until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually add 3 cups all-purpose flour, beating until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Add 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup warm whole milk and 2 teaspoons baking powder. Add to the batter and mix until combined.
  6. In another small bowl, whisk 1 tablespoon lemon juice with 1 teaspoon baking soda until foamy. Add to the batter and mix until just combined.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  8. In a small bowl, combine 1/3 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended).
  9. Sprinkle the sugar-nut mixture evenly over the top of the batter.
  10. Bake for 50-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking around 50 minutes.
  11. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before releasing the springform.
  12. Cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Drizzle with caramel sauce (recipe #78088) for an extra decadent treat!
