You can add any flavor you like--lemon, vanilla,orange,etc.... Do try it plain once, the flavor of the butter and sugar are what make this cak... More Prep:20m Cook:5565m Servings:16	Joe1155

Ingredients

Eggs

Sugar

Butter

Flour

1 or 2 Tablespoons of good quality vanilla extract

Directions

For a 11 cup bundt pan.

Preheat oven to 325F.

Butter and flour the pan.

Crack and weigh eggs (about 6).

Weigh other ingredients, each equal to the weight of the eggs

Cream butter and sugar together.

Beat in the eggs one at a time (This seems to get more air into the batter and it rises better).

Mix in the flour until smooth.

Spoon batter into pan.

Bake 55-65 mins.

If you want to make a smaller cake, take your baking form, put it on a kitchen scale, tare it to zero and fill it 3/4 full with water. This will give you the weight that the pan can hold with enough room for rising. Divide this weight by 4 and this is the weight of each ingredient you need to add.

Oooh do I know what a pound cake is!! I am kind of spoiled to a sour cream version.

Yes I believe you are right with the eggs. Course you could cheat just a pinch and add a little soda and baking powder.

I will be trying this. Just straight up plain.

That's an interesting way of working out proportions. I will keep this in mind for when I need a cake of a particular size. What a convenient way doing things.
