Pound Cake French Toast Recipe

In my opinion, Pound Cake French Toast is The King of all French Toasts.. You can't beat that, can you? This is so easy yet so impressive(if you have already made pound cake at home). You serve it with a sauce, cream, syrup, fresh fruit or a fine dusting of sugar it JUST doesn't matter. 

So here is how we do it.(pssttt....this recipe is for one person)

Ingredients :-

2 slices of pound cake

1 egg

1/3 cup milk

2 tsp sugar

1 tbsp butter

 Fruit of your choice

Confectionery sugar/maple syrup/caramel sauce/whipped cream/ice cream (optional)

Method

In a bowl, crack an egg open and add milk and sugar, Beat well for a minute. Heat a pan and let the butter melt(medium heat).

 While the butter is melting, slice the 2 pieces of pound cake and soak each slices of pound cake in the egg mixture making sure they are well coated, 

Place the pound cake slices on the hot pan(Ahhh..that sizzling sound..party on the pan). Toast each side for 1 minute or till golden brown.

Serve it fruits and maple syrup/caramel sauce/whipped cream/ice cream.

If you are dusting it with powdered sugar make sure the french toast has cooled down a bit.

Grilled Pound Cake with Nectarines and Ice-cream

 If you have pound cake at home and you wanna make a really really special breakfast try this goodness- Grilled Pound Cake! Serve it with fresh fruits and ice-cream or cream and kick start your day feeling special. 

When you grill the pound cake you get a beautiful scrumptious crust which is my favorite part. You can find the pound cake recipe on my blog(Click here for recipe) .Here is how you make Grilled Pound Cake

Ingredients

2 slices of pound cake

2 tsp unsalted butter

Fresh fruit of your choice(I used nectarines)

2 scoops ice cream of your choice

Confectionery sugar for dusting

Method

Heat the butter on the grilling pan. When the pan is really hot, place the cake on the pan and grill uncovered for 1 minute on each side(on high flame). To achieve the crosshatch marks on the pound cake slice, get the first grill mark done at 45 degrees, then rotate 90 degrees and grill again, flip and repeat. This leaves impressive diamond grids on your pound cake.

Serve with some sliced fresh fruits and ice-cream. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Pound Cake Recipe

Pound cakes brings me back sweet memories of home. This cake is called the pound cake because the traditional recipe contains one pound of butter, one pound of sugar, one pound of eggs, and one pound of flour. It is usually baked in a loaf pan or a Bundt mold

. I made today's recipe with a different proportion and also used sour cream. While I served this pound cake dusted with powdered sugar, you can also coat with an icing. Toast a slice of pound cake or make a trifle.And the real treat is when you make pound cake french toast(wink wink:)

I love pound cakes more than any other cake. If you give me pound cakes for every meal 365 days, YES, I will still survive. Couple of days back I made this cake and this is the recipe.

Ingredients

Butter 200 g (1 cup)

Sugar 250g ( 1 and 1/4 cup)

Eggs 5

Plain Flour 300g (3 cups)

Baking Soda 1/2 tsp 

Salt 1/2 tsp

Sour Cream 1 cup

Vanilla essence 2 tsp

Foster Clark(Mandarin Flavor) or Tang 2 tsp(optional)

Method

Preheat the oven to 190 degree Celsius

Butter the pan. If you are not using a non stick pan line the pan with parchment paper

Mix sour cream with Foster Clark powder in a bowl. Keep aside

 In a different bowl, mix flour, salt and baking soda. Keep aside.

Cream the butter. Add sugar and beat till light and fluffy. This will take about 7 minutes.

 Add the eggs one by one beating well after each addition. Add vanilla essence. 

Add 1/3rd of the flour mixture. Incorporate this into the cake batter on low speed and add 1/2 cup of the sour cream. After mixing well, add the half of the reamaining flour, mix well and add the rest of the sour cream. Add the last portion of the flour till incorporated. 

Pour the batter into the pan. Bake this for 45 mins on 190 degree Celsius.

After 45 minutes insert a tooth pick into d cake. If the tooth pick comes out clean, that means you cake is DONE. otherwise bake the cake for some more time.

Invert the cake onto a greased wire rack. The cake can be served plain with powdered sugar sprinkled on top.

I will be making my mothers recipe soon which is the ultimate pound cake!
