Butter Pound Cake

November 27, 2017 By Betsy Cohen

Butter Pound Cake is delicious when eaten by itself but also terrific topped with ice cream or served with berries. Perfect to give for the holidays, too.Butter Pound Cake

I make a lot of pound cakes but they usually have sour cream in them. When I was visiting Joshua recently, we had a Butter Pound Cake and I loved it so much that I came home and made one.


 The key is not to overmix the ingredients. Beat the butter and sugar but just mix the dry ingredients until they are blended.

During the holiday season, a Butter Pound Cake is also a wonderful present to give. Just be sure to make two of them. Otherwise, the odds are not great that one will be given away.

About Betsy

Happylicious By Betsy December 2015 lo res I have loved desserts for as long as I can remember. Growing up I loved the smell of freshly baked challah in my maternal great-grandmother’s kitchen, the incredible butter cookies from my paternal grandmother and the perfect pies my mother used to bake when company came over. More about me.
