I'm about to share with you one of my favorite pound cake recipes. Get your paper and pens ready!
Triple Ginger Poundcake
3 1/2 cups flour
1 TBSP ground ginger
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 cups sugar
1 cup butter
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
1 TBSP vanilla
1 1/4 cups milk
1/2 cup minced crystallized ginger
4 TBSP grated fresh ginger
Beat sugar & butter until creamy. Add eggs and yolks, one at a time, stirring well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Mix in combined dry ingredients alternately with milk. Lastly, stir in the gingers.
Bake in 2 greased loaf pans (the smaller size works best) at 350 for about 1 hour. Cool 30 minutes in the pan, then turn out of pan and continue cooling on a rack.
When I made this the other day, I decided to make only 1 loaf and use the rest of the batter for cupcakes. I had big plans to make a cooked frosting flavored with ginger syrup, but as the day wore on, I never got around to it. Now the cupcakes are gone ... maybe next time.
Enjoy!
