A simple classic, this really is the best pound cake recipe! While pound cake has traditionally been made with a pound each of butter, sugar, eggs, and flour, I've made some small adjustments for the best flavor (hello, vanilla!) and the most perfect dense but soft crumb that's not dry or crumbly.
Ingredients
2 cups unsalted butter softened (455g)
3 1/2 cups granulated sugar (700g)
6 large whole eggs
6 large egg yolks (these 6 egg yolks are in addition to the 6 whole eggs listed above).
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (438g)
Instructions
00:00 Introduction
Preheat your oven to 350F (175C) and generously grease (with shortening) and flour a 10 inch tube pan or 12 cup bundt pan. Shake out excess flour and set aside.
00:37 Place your butter in a large bowl (this recipe makes a lot of batter! I recommend using a stand mixer if you have one) and use an electric mixer to beat the butter until it is creamy and smooth.
01:25 Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the sugar. Beat until the ingredients are well combined and light and fluffy (about 1-2 minutes).
02:09 In a separate, medium-sized bowl, combine your eggs, additional egg yolks, vanilla extract, and salt.Use a fork to lightly beat the eggs and yolks until all egg yolks are broken up and salt and vanilla are incorporated.With mixer on low speed, slowly pour egg mixture into your batter, allowing it to gradually become incorporated (don't pour all the egg mixture in at once, if you can't manage a steady stream then add the egg mixture in about 6 parts, allowing each part to become well incorporated before adding more). Once all of the egg mixture is incorporated, pause to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl, then increase speed to medium-high and beat for another 1-2 minutes.
03:52 Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually, about 1/4 cup at a time, add flour to the batter until all has been added.Scrape down the sides and bottom of bowl and stir again on medium speed until well-combined and beat for another minute.
04:41 Spread batter evenly into prepared tube pan, use a spatula to smooth the surface of the batter.
Transfer to 350F (175C) oven and bake for an hour and ten to an hour and fifteen minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted in the center of the thickest part of the cake comes out clean or ideally with a few moist crumbs (do NOT over-bake this cake or it will be dry).
Allow cake to cool for at least 20 minutes then run a knife around the sides of the tube pan and the center.
Carefully invert pound cake onto a cooling rack and allow to cool completely before serving.

You can't be eating any of the cakes that you're baking because you are do tiny. You look like a size 4.
😂😂😂 thank you! 😊
@@SugarSpunRun you are do very welcome.
Sugar Spun Run can you butter with salt
Yes. You will want to omit the salt it using salted butter. 😊
When I was looking for a recipe and I saw this cake I could tell from looking at it this was the right recipe. Pound cake is supposed to be dense. Just like grandmamas
I hope you love it! 😊
@@SugarSpunRun going to try it this weekend! So excited because my grandmother has a degenerative brain disease and she cant cook anymore. Her hands went first. They stopped working. I'm sure this recipe will taste like hers, good southern pound cake. ❤
I felt the same way when I found this recipe. Can’t wait to try it out this week!!
I've baked so many pound cakes but the million dollar pound cake and yours I tried is my favorite. Both has a pound of butter I love a buttery pound cake. I've seen recipes where they use 2 sticks of butter 1/2 cup crisco. I love butter and sugar. Thanks for sharing
I've been looking all over utube for this original pound cake. Perfect. Thank you.
Finally I have found the dense pound cake I'm use to! This is how my grandmother did it! No crumble, nice and dense! Like a good Southern pound cake should be. Thanks for sharing! Cake looks delicious and can't wait to try your recipe! God bless!
Thank you so much! Enjoy! 😊
I thought i was the only one
@@laughuntilyoucrycryuntilyo4513 i hate that crap. This is where its at!
I have been searching high and low for a great pound cake recipe. I came a ride yours and all I can say is AMAZING. My entire family loves it.
Thank you so much Jeannie! I’m glad everyone enjoyed the cake. 😊
This is a delicious pound cake! Very simple ingredients and easy to make. Used a bundt pan and turned out beautiful. Also used a long
wooden skewer as recommended to make sure the cake was done. The whole family loved it!
Thank you so much! I’m so glad everyone enjoyed the cake. 😊
My first time making a CAKE! My husband loved it! ❤️ thank you.
I’m so glad everyone enjoyed it! Sounds like there’s a lot more homemade cakes in your future. 😊
Just made this (in 3 bread pans rather than a tube pan) and it turned out absolutely amazing!! The top was browning a little too fast so I covered with foil for a while, but the bread was a great hit with my family!! Thank you
I am so glad everyone enjoyed it! 😊
That’s exactly what I was wondering, if I could use loaf pans instead! Thanks!
I did not see any baked baking powder tho
@@iynettemarshall7633 THAT IS CORRECT.
Thanks for sharing! I love the simplicity of the recipe. I reduced the sugar by a cup, and it still turned out great.
Thank you for the feedback! I’m so glad you enjoyed the cake. 😊😊
This recipe is amazing! I struggled with adjusting the baking time because I didn’t have a tube pan or a Bundt cake pan. Had to use two different loaf pans so it cooked differently and my oven temperature isn’t always accurate. I had to keep a close eye on the cake while it was cooking and the end result Is pretty satisfying! I understand there’s a lot of variables when it comes to baking so thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe!
I'm so glad they still turned out! :)
Ok, i've tried about 6 different poundcake recipes on youtube, and this one by far is the best! Subbed, liked and all that good stuff. Can't wait to try your other recipes.
Thank you so much! I’m so glad it turned out and you enjoyed it! It’s definitely one of my favorite cakes. 😊😊😊
This is delicious beyond measure. My first time making pound cake and my family was impressed with it for sure. Thanks so much.
I am so glad you enjoyed it so much! :)
It turned out great! I used pure lemon and vanilla extract and the flavor is delish.
Thank you so much! I am so glad you enjoyed the pound cake! 😊
I wanted to make a pound cake today so I looked up the recipe last night and the pictures look good, so I tried it. I must say this is the best cake or poundcake I’ve ever made. I see comments where people said it’s too eggy, either you didn’t mix it properly or you put more than the six eggs required. It is also an easy recipe to remember thanks so much....so good
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it. 😊
Well, actually, it does require more than six eggs. It was six egg yolks in addition to six whole eggs.
Christmas Day on 12/25/2020, making this cake is and has been very easy to do and it tastes very, very gooooood... Thank you!!!!!!
I need this video every holiday... thank you!!!
Enjoy!! 😊😊
I have my daughter making your oatmeal cookies tonight. I might add this to her list of recipes. She wants to be a baker
Thank you so much for replying to all of our comments. That is so sweet of you.❤
It’s the least I can do. 😊 Sometimes I miss some because of the notification system but I do try to get all of them. I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment.
I searched CZcams for several pound cake recipes and I decided yesterday to give this a try. I wanted an old fashioned heavy pound cake. I followed your instructions but I batter ended up slightly thicker. During the baking process, the top of the cake was a little hard but I absolutely love everything about it. It taste so good. Thank you so much for sharing. I will be making this OFTEN.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much! ☺️
@@SugarSpunRun , it's been 11 months. I will be making this again tomorrow. Your recipe is a must have for me and I truly thank you for sharing.
Made my 2nd pound cake today using your recipe. I absolutely love it. A little crunchy on top. Great recipe. Thanks for sharing.

Great recipe Sam, tks.
Made this tonight!!! Before I put the cake in the oven I had to taste the batter and omg it was delicious. It’s still cooking but longer for my oven. Guess my oven isn’t working properly lol. Thanks so much for this video.I already know it’s going to come out amazing. Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄
That is so awesome! :)
Wow this looks delicious!! Thanks for sharing, cant wait to try out the recipe!! 😍🥰
I hope you love it! 😊
Today is Christmas Eve 12/24/2020 and I have just taken the cake out of the pan. Now, all that is left is to put a little icing on top.. Thank you again and again and again.
How did it turn out? I’m thinking of making it today (26 December 2020).
@@amapparatistkwabena Very time very good with the turn out, now make sure you mix the sugar up very well to not have parts of the cake unflaky.
Today was my first day ever making a cake from scratch :o
I was baking cookies earlier today,
but my mother said I should try to bake a cake instead of always baking cookies.
I went on to your channel Sam and I picked the pound cake :D
and It was fun to make :D
and it's good really good:D
That’s awesome! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!! I have lots of cakes you can try. 😊
Thank you
I’m thinking about making a pound cake for the Holidays. I won’t be able to eat it though. I became Vegan, due to a horrible sensitivity to dairy, eggs, sugar, corn, rice and potatoes. I hope my family will enjoy it. Thanks for sharing.
I hope they enjoy it too! 😊
Thanks for the video. I'm anxious to bake this cake. Take care.
I hope you love it! :)
As I said previously I am in love with this recipe. What I would like to know is how can I reduce the sugar so that it is not as sweet but still a great cake?
The sugar level is purely a preference here. It’s really your call what you want to do. 😊
Great recipe! A word of advice for anyone making this (or any) pound cake: because pound cakes typically have little or no Ieavening agent (and this recipe actually has none), there isn’t any air bubbles being introduced into the mixture by leavening--only through creaming the butter/sugar together. So, it is crucial to cream the butter and sugar until it is *very* fluffy and changes color to a very pale yellow (although not quite totally white) in order to create enough air--otherwise the end result after baking will be a texture that is too dense, even for a pound cake (almost gummy). So…cream, cream, cream!!!
❤❤THIS RECIPE !!! Made this last nite! It came out beautifully. Dense, yet moist, not dry at all. Definitely careful of oven temps.
However, I don't have a traditional tube pan like Sam's. BUT.. with my big bundt pan and loaf pan..the batter was used😂!!
It is REALLY A lot of batter which is always good. This Batter is enough for 2 BUNDT PANS.
🎉🎉🎉Once again, great recipe!!!!#SUGARSPUNRUN 🎉🎉🎉
I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much! :)
Ok. This is my third attempt at making a pound cake... but first time using this recipe. It's in the oven as I type... let's go!!!!!
I hope it works out for you. 🤞🏻😊
@@SugarSpunRun ok, the cake came out looking beautiful, it just tasted a little eggy. The texture was a real down south, textured pound cake. I think the extra egg yolks did it. I love and recommend this pound cake.. caution it makes a lot of batter..... I see negative comments, I made this cake" if I said it taste a little eggy, it's more than likely an error on my skillset in the kitchen. " nothing is at fault of mrs. Sugar spun.
Can I use less eggs and still have the same wonderful results..? And thank you...
@@norymnamdenm4641 yes, egg yolk its for a creamier texture plus if you use jumbo, 4 or 5 of them will work too.
@@bonitainthekitchen6032 hey, thanks.
Your pound cake is the best ever thank you very much much for this recipe
I'm so happy you like it!
I have tried your receipt over and over again. today is 08/02/2020. Florida has been declared a State of Emergency because of Covid19 and Hurricane Isaias.. So, my family is in the house enjoying your Pound cake with ice cream. Thank you!!!
I am so glad there is something to enjoy during stressful times. :)
It’s so delicious 😋😋😋thank you !,
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :)
MY SEARCH HAS ENDED....FINALLY !!!!! THIS is the recipe I've been needing. No need to watch any other video. I'm gonna be a sho nuff MONSTA in the kitchen....lawdhamercy.
I hope you love it! :)
Wow, first time I seen the technique of beating all the eggs at 1 time then adding them to the blended butter and sugar 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
@@SugarSpunRun so this is ok without beating the eggs one at a time in the mixture 👍🏽
I've prescribed to your channel this is what I been searching for LOVE me a nice sweet dense pound cake. I will try this soon. Thank you so much 💕
Thank you so much! I appreciate the support! I hope you love the cake. 😊😊
Can’t wait to bake it.
I hope you love it! :)
Sugar Spun Run transformed me from someone who had no idea where to begin to a pound cake king!
Yay! I love hearing that! 🙂
Ok guys, this is the best pound cake ever thank you for sharing it:)

Your carrot cake was amazing my son's loved it thank you I now just use your recipes for everything I want to bake also do you have a recipe for tart shell
So glad to hear it! Here you go: sugarspunrun.com/fruit-tart/
THANK YOU👍👍
Guess I know what I will be baking tomorrow...... thanks!

This time I added the cream cheese to your recipe and as always I will look for a glaze recipe to add on the cake. I forgot to flour the pan, but I did greased it....
I hope you loved it!
I have the same color mixer ❤️
Its so pretty!! 😊
im actually eating a pound cake while watching this video
So now you need to make another?
Right 🤣
I noticed you didn’t add baking powder ~ that’s so cool.
Me too November 2020
Lucky
Do you have another pound cake recipe I truly love this one,!
I do not have another pound cake recipe at this time, but I will put it on my list for future videos. :)
I added a lemon and half to mine anyway, the batter tastes great lol, I'll come back when I try the cake :3
I hope you loved it! 😊😊
@@SugarSpunRun I did ^^ and so did my mom
I baked it today and it was very very sweet and had an eggy smelly to it
Have you considered perfecting a buttermilk pound cake and/or vanilla buttermilk layer cake?
Nice
I’m hoping this recipe helps me go from using a cake mix to baking my chocolate chip pound cake from scratch. I typically use a butter golden cake mix and also add in a box of instant vanilla pudding.
I think you’re going to love this one. 😊
This looks like an amazing cake and recipe. I am looking to bake a chocolate chip pound cake for my granddaughter's birthday. Can I use this recipe and just add chocolate chips..? Thanks for your input and great video...
I haven’t tried it, but it’s a thick batter so the chips should stay suspended in it. This recipe does make a lot of batter so if you need to I would discard a little bit of the batter so your pan doesn’t overflow. 🙂
Do you add baking powder if using cake flour? If so, how much?
This looks sooo yummy 😋😋 I will definitely be trying this for Christmas... Can you shift the flour before adding it in?
I hope you love it! You can sift the flour but there's really no need to here. :)
@@SugarSpunRun Ok, thanks! I will let you know how it turns out ☺️😬
Pound cake has equal quantity of all ingre, but sugar 700 g ! Is that ok to use that much and why ?
This was my first try at baking about 3 months ago. Each time it is delicious. I simply love the crunch ; however, my top gets too brown. Should I lower the temperature?
It may need to come out of the oven a few minutes sooner, or it is possible your oven is running a little bit hotter than it says it is. I hope this helps. I'm glad you are still enjoying it. :)
it looks good but too much sugar and too much butter and eggs.. is there a modified recipe in case I wanna use half amounts of your recipe? please advise , thanks
I am Back, I have to make my pound cake for Labor Day and I am a day late..... Very busy, yes I am!!! Thank you!!!
Nice cake
Thank you so much! 😊
I wonder if you can use the water bath technique to help keep the oven from being to dry to help keep the cake kind of moist (what I mean is help it keep it a bit more moist not saying that it's dry or anything).
I'm honestly not sure how it would work with this cake. I know people do it with breads but I'm not sure how it would help/hurt this cake.
@@SugarSpunRun Ok thank you.
Can the eggs be added two at a time instead of mixing them all together?
It would probably work, but for best results I recommend doing it this way, it allows the ingredients to be combined better (including the vanilla and salt which is whisked in with the eggs).
Good job nice
Thank you so much! 😊
I noticed you didn’t add baking powder ~ that’s so cool.
There's no need for it here. :)
The cake was perfect. How do I alter the recipe to bake a banana pound cake?
Unfortunately without having tried it I wouldn’t be able to give a suggestion here. There would be some pretty major changes to the cake to account for all of the extra moisture.
I have no idea what happened to mine. It was wayyy to sweet. And I baked it for 75 minutes and when I cut it, it was undercooked a bit. And to make things worse, it rose but when I cut it, there was air between the cake and the top. Almost like air space between the cake and the top of the cake. Hard to explain. It was a disaster and I have no clue why.
Is it going to be as much puffed as this one if i added some dried fruits or it will be different?
As long as you don’t overload the batter it should still rise nicely. 😊
@@SugarSpunRun thank you
Should I want to cut down on sugar, can I use 500 grams? Oe is 700grams just the perfect taste and not overly too sweet?
I think it’s perfect as it is but not everyone’s tastes are the same. 😊
what size mixer do you suggest?
I have a 5 quart mixer. 😊
Can you please tell me the recipe for lesser amount .. means like 1 cup or 1 and 1/2 cup all purpose flour.
You would have to divide all of the ingredients by 3 and then you’d need a much smaller pan and I’m not sure what the baking time would be on that.
I just put it in the oven Hopefully it comes out good. Batter was a little hard. I didnt miss a step so not sure why.
I hope it turns out! 😊😊
@@SugarSpunRun came out a little dry since I used a metal baking pan.but it taste amazing. Baked for 1H 10minutes the center was still raw thanks so much
What kind of flour did you use? All purpose or cake?
All purpose flour
What is the name of the cake flour
Why u didnt use backing powder?plz sis ans me
This is based off of a traditional recipe for a nice dense cake. Baking powder would make it lighter and that’s not the goal of this cake. 😊
Does it free well, without drying out.
I have not tried it myself, but as long as you wrap it tightly and store in an air tight container it shouldn’t dry out.
Sugar Spun Run
Thanks. One more question please. May I use a regular loaf pan instead?
You can use a loaf pan but I don’t know how long it would need to bake
I noticed you said all purpose flour; is there any B. Powder and salt added?
You do need a teaspoon of salt. No baking powder is necessary here. 😊
Hi! Can I keep my cake out of fridge will it get spoilt
Yes you can leave it at room temperature. Make sure it is covered so it doesn't dry out. :)
What can you do with leftover eggwhites??
Hi Amelia! You can use them for several things. I have meringue cookies, white cake, strawberry cake, and angel food cake. 😊 sugarspunrun.com/meringue-cookie-recipe/ sugarspunrun.com/strawberry-cake-with-airy-whipped-cream-cheese-frosting/ sugarspunrun.com/the-best-white-cake-recipe/ sugarspunrun.com/classic-angel-food-cake/ some of these have videos some of them don’t
I've made pound cakes before but they barely rise and always come out too wet in the middle. I perform the doneness test and calibrate the oven and cream the sugar until fluffy. I just don't why the cake comes out buttery wet in the middle. Can you help?
You may need a longer skewer to test the very center of the cake it still sounds underdone. 😊
@@SugarSpunRun I'll try but I suspect it's something else since the cake didn't rise much. I checked off everything. I want a good pound cake so bad.
What pan is this that you used? I need that same one and size
I actually have a link to the exact one in the description. :)
Yummy
😋
WTH does digging it mean? How long before I let it cool before I flip it. Or do it flip it once it comes out the oven.
You can see all of the baking and cooling instructions in the description
Can u use self rising flour ?
I don’t recommend it. Self rising flour contains salt and baking powder and you don’t need baking powder in this recipe. 😊
@@SugarSpunRun thank you 😁
I used only one egg, then weighed the egg and used the weigh of the egg as the measurements of the other ingredients and it turned out as a great mug cake
I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😊
How long did you bake it?
It will need to bake about 70-75 minutes.
Can is used cake flour for this recipe?
Yes you can. :)
Thank you
OK, it is Father Day and the cake is in the oven... Please you!!!
Forgive me if I sound foolish, but are we to use 6 eggs or 12?
You will need 12 eggs total but you need to leave out 6 of the whites. 😊
Wow 🤩 🤩😯 🤩 🤩 so amazing thanks 🙏 for sharing 🥰🥰🥰👩❤️💋👨👩❤️💋👨👩❤️💋👨👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I hope you love it! 😊
Does this have an eggy smell or taste?
Not at all. 😊
