This pound cake is the perfect example of how the simplest things can be the most satisfying. A combination of both vanilla extract and vanilla beans adds sweet floral flavor to our classic pound cake recipe. We’ve opted to forgo a finishing glaze to let the vanilla flavors truly shine.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 stick (8 tbsp) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 vanilla bean
  • ½ cup sour cream 
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

1)  Spray a Suvie pan with cooking spray and line with parchment so that parchment hangs over the edge of the pan. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, ¼ tsp baking soda, and ½ tsp salt. 

2) In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat 1 cup sugar and 1 stick softened butter together on medium-high until light and airy, about 5 minutes. 

3) Cut a slit lengthwise into the vanilla bean and scrape out the seeds (discard pod or save for another use). Add 2 eggs and vanilla seeds to the mixer, and beat to incorporate, about 1 minute, scraping down the bowl as needed. Add ½ cup sour cream and 1 tsp vanilla extract and beat for 1 minute. 

4) Reduce mixer to low and slowly add flour mixture until just combined. Scrape down sides and bottom of the bowl. Transfer batter to prepared pan, cover pan with foil, and insert into the bottom zone of your Suvie. Input settings and cook now. Remove foil when 15 minutes remain.

The flavor was fantastic but the texture is more like a cornbread than a pound cake. Great with whipped cream and fresh fruit.
