- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating for one minute after each addition. Sift the flour and add it to the creamed mixture alternately with the whipping cream. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Stir in the vanilla.
- Pour into prepared pan.
- Combine topping mixture in a separate bowl and mix with melted butter until you reach your desired texture.
- Add crumble topping to prepared dish and put in cold oven. Bake on 300 for 90 min. If you check it with a toothpick and its not clean, add an additional 10min and keep checking.
- Cool completely and remove from pan.
This is my pound cake recipe I have used for years. I will try toppings sounds great! Thanks.
Tip: when my cake comes out of oven I flip on plate then flip over on cake taker and seal it. Then in 30 minutes I come back and with towel
Wipe off water. Cake is so moist from steam and still crusty on top. ā¤ļøššš
