Famous Pound Cake
Ingredients:
– 1 box of Duncan Hines Butter Recipe Cake Mix
– 1 cup of cake flour
– 1 cup of sugar
– 1 cup of sour cream (at room temperature)
– 1 stick of butter (at room temperature)
– 5 eggs (at room temperature)
– 1/4 cup of oil
– 1/4 cup of water
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F (165°C). Prepare a bundt pan or your chosen baking dish by greasing and flouring it.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, mix together the cake mix, cake flour, and sugar. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
3. Incorporate Wet Ingredients
Introduce the sour cream, butter, eggs, oil, and water to the dry mixture. Utilize a hand mixer or stand mixer to blend the ingredients until the batter achieves a smooth and creamy consistency, which should take approximately 3-5 minutes. Remember to scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
4. Transfer the Batter
Evenly pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan.
5. Bake
Place the pan in the oven and bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Begin checking for doneness around the 50-minute mark.
6. Cool and Serve
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice and savor!
This cake is characterized by its rich, buttery flavor and moist texture, making it an ideal choice for any celebration. Enjoy!
