Making Pound Cake with Hans!!

[kevin313]

What a delight it was to spend time with Hans and Donald at their lovely home while we were visiting North Carolina last week!! Prior to the trip, I asked Hans if we could do a Cavalcade of Food episode while we were there and so he picked out the most wonderful recipe to make - a pound cake!! Hans likes to use Adluh Flour, which is milled in South Carolina, and I will say that it made for a moist and tender cake!

Thanks Hans for inviting us over, for the wonderful hospitality, and for sharing this wonderful recipe (and all your awesome mixers!!!).

pound cake

We have an older pound cake recipe that looks very much like this when done. My mother always said that pound cake tastes better after it sits a day so she always made it a day ahead. Do you find a difference in taste if you eat it the next day? Jeff

I've been looking forward to this on-the-road episode of Cavalcade Of Food. Great job, guys! Hans, I'm going to use your recipe when I serve strawberry pound cake this weekend.

I actually told you wrong..

Adluh IS a Columbia SC tradition, but it is milled in NC for them, I use this and Virginias best."Kevin brought me a bag he bought while traveling" both are made from 100 percent soft winter wheat, and are bleached the old fashioned way so your biscuits come out WHITE inside and not a sickly grey color,I drive 2 hours to get the Virginias best and almost 3 for the Adluh!! We have friends in Columbia SC and Roanoke Va ,so its not too much out of the way!LOL..These are best for most quick breads and cakes, very low in gluten.

Hans,
I thoroughly enjoyed your demonstration! What a beautiful Pound Cake. I look forward to giving it a try the next time I make a Pound Cake. Thanks so much to you, Kevin and Ralph for sharing this.

Jeff - after we ate our fill of the cake, Hans wrapped it up and gave it to us to take. We had it the next day and, yes, I think the flavors were even more developed. It was certainly as good!! Beyond the second day I'm not sure, because it was gone by then ;-)

Forgot to mention: That '48 Kelvinator range is really beautiful, Hans. No wonder you worked diligently to keep it in your kitchen. Stunning.[this post was last edited: 7/2/2015-19:58]

You are so fortunate to have such good friends

So much vintage everywhere you look. Even the Tupperware canisters are nice. Did you catch that "fancy footwork" with the mixer bowl? Most impressive. I understand pound cake is so named because traditionally you used a pound of each ingredient (not including the spices of course.) Han's wonderful Southern accent puts Paula Deen's to shame.

Looks great! Only thing missing is soaking it in some rum

For our cookout today, I made the Stanly County Slaw that Hans posted some time ago.  Next week, I’ll be making the pound cake from this video, for the office—it was a huge hit the last time I made it!

 

Thank you, Hans, for bringing these great recipes to our attention.  Some are new to me, some bring back a lot of memories.  All of them have been delicious.

 

And a great big Thank you to Ralph and Kevin for posting their cooking shows!

To post some more , Some of my Grandmothers recipes are 70 or 80 years old.Im still using her Griswold iron frying pan she got when they got married, Jan 2, 1926, and .still use a few Pyrex things she got near that time

Im trying this recipe!

Great Video! So good to watch, and the cake looks so delicious.
Even the typed recipe was a super touch! Oh and that orange tupperware collection!
Infact everything in the kitchen was great!

Looks delish!!

In these parts we see pound cake made in loaf pans and Angel Food cake made in tube pans. I like it better looks-wise in yours, Hans! Yours also doesn't look as dense as what we see here which means I could have a bigger piece and please the eyes as well!!
