Whipping Cream Pound Cake

Whipping Cream Pound Cake Recipe

I have many Pound Cake recipes in my repertoire. I have Whipping Cream Pound Cake Recipe, Cream Cheese Pound Cake, Sour Cream Pound Cake, Greek Yogurt Pound Cake, Chocolate Pound Cake, Blue Ribbon Pound Cake and the list goes on and on. As I’ve stated before, desserts, in particular, Pound Cake are my most favorite thing to make. I’ve been wanting to do a series for you and it finally hit me, “Why not do the one thing that I love the most? Make all the Pound Cake recipes and share them with you!” That’s precisely what I’m going to do over the next few weeks.

Whipping Cream Pound Cake

Also known as Elvis Presley Pound Cake

I cut this Whipping Cream Pound Cake recipe out of our local newspaper years and years ago. Then about 10 years ago, I also found it in a local cookbook with slight variations. Then I’ve made my own tweaks to the recipe and that’s what you’ll find below.

In the cookbook, they tell a story of how it was Elvis Presley’s favorite pound cake. Now, I live in the town in which Elvis was born. This very well could be true. Or, it could be false. Or, half-true. I’ve found that stories get bigger and more exaggerated the more they’re told so take that with a grain of salt.

My Favorite Pound Cake

What I do know, this is my personal favorite pound cake recipe. It’s sweet without being overly sweet. It pairs well with fresh or grilled fruit. This cake is good with ice cream, fruit sauce, and whipped cream. You may also enjoy it with caramel sauce. And, certainly, it’s good all by itself (my favorite way to eat this Whipping Cream Pound Cake recipe.) Coincidentally, my second favorite pound cake recipe is the Amaretto Pound Cake that I shared earlier with you on callmepmc.com

Whipping Cream Pound Cake Recipe Tips

  1. This pound cake is very dense and moist. The batter is thick and it takes a long time to bake, 1 hour and 15 minutes. It’s is worth the wait. The pound cake is ‘crusty’ on the outside and has a soft, tender texture and small crumb inside. You’ll be tempted to take the cake out at 1 hour because the outside is golden brown. Do not. Test it carefully (without moving the cake too much) with a small, long wooden skewer. The cake is done with no crumbs or dry crumbs are on the skewer.
  2. First things first, when it comes to measuring flour, a cup is not always a cup. Please read this post on how to correctly measure flour.
  3. I use this tube pan. You can also use this bundt pan.
  4. It takes a little patience to make. You’ll need to cream the butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy.
  5. Also, add the eggs one at a time, sometimes I want to dump them all in at once, but resist the urge.
  6. Finally, allow the cake to cool at least 20 minutes in the pan before inverting it onto a platter.
  7. Complete detailed instructions are below in the recipe box.

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 45 minutes
Servings: 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 3 cups sugar
  • 1 cup real butter at room temperature (no substitution), salted or unsalted, recommended
  • 6 large eggs at room temperature
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour sifted (recommended brand)
  • 1 cup whipping cream NOT WHIPPED (also known as heavy cream)
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract I use this

Instructions

  • *Recipe is correct as written, there is no baking soda or baking powder in it. This cake is leavened, traditionally, with eggs.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Spray a 10-inch bundt or tube pan with non-stick spray or flour and grease pan, whichever you prefer. I recommend this tube pan or this bundt pan. *If you have a 2-piece, 10-inch tube pan, wrap aluminum foil around the outside of the pan to prevent any batter from leaking out.
  • In the bowl of your stand mixer, beat on medium butter until smooth. Add sugar and mix until smooth about 2 to 3 minutes on medium speed.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Add flour and heavy cream alternately to sugar mixture, beginning and ending with flour.
  • Add vanilla and mix on low to medium until well combined.
  • Pour batter into a prepared 10-inch tube or bundt pan.
  • Bake for 1 hour 15-25 minutes at 325 degrees F. Test for doneness with a wooden pick The cake will be done with no crumbs or dry crumbs remain on the pick.
  • Cool in the pan for 20 to 25 minutes before inverting onto a serving tray to cool completely.
  • Store in an airtight container on the countertop 3 to 4 days.

    I have been looking for a Whipping Cream Pound Cake recipe for years. Had one, but the computer had issues and I lost it. I seem to remember that it called for whipped whipping cream. Have you tried this recipe using whipped whipping cream? It would seem that it would be the same, maybe a little more texture in the cake. Waiting for a response.

      Hey Jimmy, no, I haven’t tried whipping the cream first. It may make it a little lighter in texture. I’ll try it when I get a chance.

    This cake was fabulous! I followed the directions to a T, and it came out wonderfully. My husband has been bugging me to make it again, and I will definitely do so! Thank you for a superb recipe that I will use many times in the future.

    I made the Whipping Cream Pound Cake as cupcakes. Cooking time greatly reduced. 30 minutes instead of 90 minutes. Tastes amazing, freezes in portions so easily in cupcake form. I didn’t bother to ice but served with different toppings depending on the day

    I served them with home made sour cherry jam

    This is almost to a “T” my grandmother’s recipe.she used Crisco instead of butter. And she started it off in a cold oven. Oh how I can remember her creaming the sugar and Crisco by hand. Her cakes where always so good. She never raised her voice at you unless there was a cake in the oven and you was running in the house. What a special lady!

    After 1 hr and 25 mins @325 degrees, my cake was not done. I had to increase oven temp to 350 degrees and bake another 20 mins. I checked it by sticking a wood skewer in cake, it came out clean. However, after it cooled and I cut it, it still wasn’t quite done. Did I do something wrong? It was still very delicious! Thank you!

          You can’t sub self-rising flour in a pound cake recipe, you need to use all-purpose as stated in the recipe. Also, I recommend you calibrate your oven, a dense cake like a pound cake needs to bake at a low temp for a long time. https://www.callmepmc.com/how-to-calibrate-your-oven/ If you used the ingredients as listed it should stick together. Did you sub anything else or omit eggs?

    I await a speedy reply so I can get baking!

      The eggs are the leavening agent and classically how pound cakes were made. It doesn’t need baking powder or baking soda.

    My granddaughter and I made the whipping cream pound cake together. It turned out great except for one thing. The entire family thought that it was too sweet. Could I safely decrease the sugar (or decease the sugar and increase the flour) and still have the great moist texture and crunchy top? I was thinking, maybe reduce the sugar by 1/2 cup and increase the flour by 1/2 cup.

    I have been baking this cake for many years. If you like crunch to the top of your cake, add 1/2 cups of solid crisco, when you add the butter. I mix butter and crisco together, then fellow the recipe, That is only thing I do different. All 5 of my girls have made this cake they get rave reviews also. Enjoy

    Best pound cake recipe ever. Thank you Paula. I halved the recipe and put the cake mix in a spring form tin with a ramekin in the middle. It took 85 minutes in my oven. Crusty on the outside. Light and fluffy in a still-moist and dense way. I cannot describe the satisfaction! I am so glad I followed your instructions all the way.

      You could do a simple glaze with whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla.
      Or this lemon glaze https://www.callmepmc.com/easiest-lemon-dessert-sauce/ I put it on this pound cake and it’s divine. https://www.callmepmc.com/old-fashioned-blue-ribbon-pound-cake/
      I did brown sugar in this recipe (it’s same as Whipping Cream P C except I used brown sugar.) I love caramel and ice cream over warm pound cake. https://www.callmepmc.com/cold-oven-brown-sugar-whipping-cream-pound-cake/

    I found this recipe when looking for something to use up whipping cream before it expired. I’ve since made it 3 times and it has been DEVOURED each time. I added a simple powdered sugar and cream glaze. It is delicious without, I just prefer my pound cakes glazed. This will be my go-to potluck recipe when we can go out in the world again.

    I made this cake this past Saturday and it came out beautifully and is absolutely delicious!!! It is a little too sweet for the liking of some in my family though, and others it’s perfect.
    Will it alter the flavor too much if I use a cup less sugar?
    I don’t want to lose the crunchy, flaky texture on the top and the most, dense cake on the inside,
    Thank you for sharing your recipes, absolutely amazing cake!

      Yes, depends on the size pan. Since you didn’t say what size, Google it and start checking the cake at the shortest time recommended.
