Jane Rodmell in her book 'Best Summer Weekends' tells us to beat an egg with two tablespoons each of milk and Grand Marnier and then dip each slice of cake into this mixture, as you would French Toast. Then place the slices of cake on the grill, browning each side. Serve for dessert along with fresh berries and whipped cream.  Absolutely delicious. (Note: This Pound Cake recipe is adapted from "The Cake Bible" by Rose Levy Beranbaum.)

Pound Cake: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and place the oven rack in the center of the oven.

Then remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to allow to cool completely before removing from the loaf pan.

The full list of ingredients and instructions can be found in the recipe below.

Recipe Tips

  • Measure the ingredients carefully. To keep your pound cake from getting dry, measure your flour properly with either a kitchen scale or by spooning flour into your measuring cup and leveling the top off with a knife.

    Here’s everything you need to know to make it the best it can be, every time.

    What People Are Saying:
    "When I say this is the best pound cake I've ever had, I'm not kidding. Tip: Overmixing can lead to a dense cake.

  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    Preheat your oven to 350° and grease a loaf pan evenly with cooking spray. Tip: Adding eggs one at a time ensures they emulsify properly into the batter, contributing to the cake’s fine texture.

  • Sift together the flour and salt, then gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Serve it with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of toasted coconut for an extra indulgent touch.

    2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes, ensuring a smooth base for your cake.
    3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to incorporate air and volume into the batter.

    6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
