Whip some heavy cream with our extra-fine cake flour and enjoy the velvety texture of this Southern dessert classic. Top with flavored glaze and serve with fruit or just eat it plain alongside a cup of coffee or tea.
This pound cake is really good. The exterior caramelized perfectly and the inside is moist and light. It really doesn't need a glaze at all. My waist is expanding some so I will lay off the Swans Down recipes for a couple of months, but I've enjoyed getting heavier.
I had one issue (totally my fault but hopefully a nice reminder for someone). My cake did stick in two areas but that's because I didn't butter and flour the pan very well.
I would love the recipe in grams vs volume! Thank you!
hi Nina, I will send you a copy of the recipe in grams via email. Please be on the lookout for it. Happy Holidays and Happy Baking.
Can I PLEASE have this recipe in grams? I hate to be high maintenance but my flour measuring prowess by way of cup, stinks! I always have too much.
Hi Debo,
I will email you the recipe that has been converted to grams. Please be on the lookout for it.

What is the earliest you advise for making this recipe ahead of time?
Hi Natasha,
You can bake this cake several days in advance. If you have a cake case or a covered cake stand that should keep it fresh. Otherwise, if you wrap it in plastic wrap (once completely cooled) and then again in aluminum foil it should last up to 5 days. Good luck. Happy Baking!
Is there a version of this recipe in weight instead of volume?
HI Aimee, I have a version of this recipe in grams that I can send you via email. Please be on the lookout for it. Enjoy and happy baking!
Hello,
Could you also send me the recipe in grams? Also, does the brand of whipping cream matter? I have previously gotten a heavy greasy texture cake using whipping cream.
HI Trish, I will send you an email with the recipe converted to grams. As far as a greasy texture, that can happen for a few reasons. This can happen if you over-cream the butter and sugar. Beating butter and sugar for too long can incorporate too much air, leading to a greasy texture. Also under baking the cake. A slightly undercooked cake can appear greasy as the fat hasn't fully set. As far as the brand of cream. I always try to use the best brand I can find. Look for brands that have just over 30% of fat. I find the higher fat brands are better for baking. Good luck with the cake. Happy Baking!
