- 1
Soften the butter in a microwave. Microwave at 500 W for about 15-20 seconds.
- 2
Preheat the oven to 160℃.
- 3
In a bowl, cream the butter and sugar with an electric handheld mixer until it's pale. 1-2 minutes should be enough.
- 4
Add the eggs and continue mixing with the electric mixer. The butter and eggs may separate, but do not worry!
- 5
Sift in the flour and fold it in with a wooden spatula. If you are adding baking powder, add it at this point.
- 6
Pour the batter into the parchment paper-lined pound cake pan. Drop the pan on to the table to remove any trapped air. Make the center of the batter a little lower than the rest of it, and make sure to fill all 4 corners.
- 7
Bake it at 160℃ for about 40 minutes. If you make a slit in the middle of the batter with a knife when the surface begin to brown, the pound cake will split at the top beautifully!
- 8
Insert a wooden skewer and if it comes out clean, it is done! Drizzle in some rum into the crack if desired. Take it out of the pan and cool it off.
- 9
It tastes better the next day or later as the flavor permeates though the cake.
- 10
Variation - Sake lees pound cake: The flavor of the sake lees and the butter is a perfect match!
- 11
Variation - Raisin pound cake: After Step 5, add the same weight of rum-soaked raisins as the weight of the eggs.
- 12
Dark cherry chocolate pound cake: At Step 5, add some rum-soaked dark cherries and 20 g pure cocoa powder!

Easy Pound Cake with Dried Fruit
I created this recipe because I wanted to make a delicious pound cake that can be a little gift to take to somebody's house.There are recipes that use vegetable oil, but the butter definitely makes the cake more delicious.Please mix the mixture well after adding the eggs so that it won't separate.The batter seems a bit thick, but once it's baked, it will flatten so it's ok.It's also tasty to add bananas, walnuts, or make a marble pound cake with cocoa powder or matcha powder.I think it's ok to use rum instead of brandy.

My Secret Recipe for Pound Cake
I wondered how it would turn out if I adapted the method to make cream puffs to make a pound cake, and I made this fluffy cake with a soft and chewy texture! You can hear the tiny air bubbles in the cake popping as you bite into it! Pick up your ears!When you heat the saucepan with the milk and oil, it boils up quite quickly, so keep an eye on it. If you boil it for too long, the milk will evaporate. When you wrap the cake with cling film, wrap it while it's hot if you can. The baking time varies depending on your oven, so adjust accordingly.
