RECIPE:
Berry Pound Cake ( Red, White and Blue!!)
Ingredients
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature (+ additional butter for pan)
- 1-1/4 cups plus 1 tbsp all-purpose flour, sifted (+ additional flour for pan)
- ½ cup fine-ground yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 5 large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten
- ½ tsp coarse salt
- 2 cups blueberries and raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter and flour the loaf pan.
- In a large bowl using a stand mixer beat butter and sugar on medium-high until fluffy (about 7 minutes). Scrape down the bowl and beat for 1 additional minute more. Add the vanilla then gradually add eggs one at a time; beating well and scraping down bowl as needed. Put your mixer on low then add salt, flour and cornmeal. Once again beating well to combine and scraping down the bowl as needed. Gently toss berries with remaining 1 tablespoon flour and fold into a batter.
- Transfer the batter to butter/floured pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, about 65 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack, 1 hour. Remove cake from pan and let cool completely on rack before slicing.
Notes
