Sara Lee Pound Cake #01
This pound cake can be the base for strawberry shortcake, or it can
go well with a cup of coffee. This was one of my first Copy Cat
Recipes, so you can enjoy Sara Lee Pound Cake at home.
Sara Lee Pound Cake
Yield: 12 servings.
1/4 pound or 1 stick unsalted butter
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 cup cake flour
2 tablespoons dry powdered milk
1 tablespoon corn syrup
juice of half a small lemon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon mace (optional)
Allow butter to reach room temperature, if you can try to use
unsalted butter. Cream sugar and butter together until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time and mix well. Add in flour, powdered milk, and
corn syrup. Beat each in well. Add juice of half a lemon, salt, vanilla,
nutmeg, and mace. Make sure everything is well blended, and pour into a
greased loaf pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes, checking for
done-ness by inserting a toothpick and seeing if it comes out clean. You
almost want to under bake this.
