Pound Cake
| 11 oz Butter, room temperature, salted |
| 11 oz White sugar, granulated |
| 11 oz Eggs, room temperature |
| 11 oz White flour (I use unfortified, unbleached) |
| 2 oz Maple syrup |
Maple Glaze
| 1 cup Powder sugar, sifted is best |
| 4 Tbsp. Maple syrup |
| 1 Tbsp. Half & half or heavy cream |
Maple Pound Cake Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, line 9" loaf pan with parchment paper
- Start with room temperature ingredients, sift flour, crack open eggs, and measure all ingredients so they all weigh the same.
- Blend butter in mixer on medium or high for 2 minutes
- Add sugar and blend for 4-5 minutes on medium-high setting - you're adding bubbles and air to batter
- SLOWLY add eggs. It should take 3-5 minutes to blend them into the mix. You're creating an emulsion in this process.
- Add maple syrup (optional).
- Remove from blender and fold in flour. You want the flour to become wet, the dough should be sticky, but you don't want to blend or over-mix.
- Pour into parchment lined baking pan, put in oven for 50-70 minutes.
- Cake is done when cake has a moist crumb (don't pull out when knife is squeaky clean). Once parchment is cool enough to handle (10 minutes or so) remove from loaf pan and cool on a wire rack.
- Cool for about 20 minutes total, then add maple glaze.
- Mix powdered sugar, syrup, and dairy together with a whisk until the mixture is smooth and slightly drippy.
- Pour over top of warm cake.

Recipe notes
Storage and serving:
Wrap pound cake tightly in plastic, or keep in an airtight container.
I find that over time it gets drier. After the third or fourth day, I'll warm it up in the microwave and eat it with a little warmed butter.
Serve with fresh or cooked pears and some decaf coffee (if you an tolerate it). It is also delicious with milk.
