A few years ago my mother-in-law gave me this Christmas wreath mold, and I've been searching for the perfect pound cake recipe to fill it with. I've tried others, but finally discovered just the right recipe! This brown sugar pound cake is very good (especially warm), and the whipped cream with it just makes it even better.
BROWN SUGAR POUND CAKE
1 c. packed brown sugar
2 sticks butter
4 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 3/4 c. all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
Grease and flour pan
In a large bowl, beat sugar and butter until fluffy.
Beat in eggs one at a time.
Add vanilla.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt.
Gradually add to sugar mixture.
Pour batter into pan.
Bake at 350 for one hour.
Remove from pan and turn out on rack to cool.
SWEETENED WHIPPED CREAM
1 c. heavy cream
2 T. granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Combine cream, sugar and vanilla in a chilled mixing bowl.
Beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
Serve immediate or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
