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.

Ingredient

Food ration :

6 servings

100 grams

Butter (or margarine)

80 grams

Sugar

Eggs

100 grams

Cake flour

1/2 tsp

Baking powder

1 tbsp

Brandy

120 grams

Dried fruit (raisins, orange peels, etc.)

1 tbsp

Brandy (for soaking the dried fruit)

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Soak the dried fruit in the brandy overnight. It's not mandatory. Combine the flour and baking powder, and sift. Bring the eggs and butter to room temperature.

* Step 2

Line the pan with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 170°C.

* Step 3

Cream the butter until it turns white. If you melt it until it becomes liquid, the flavor will deteriorate. Add the sugar, and mix well.

* Step 4

Beat the eggs, and add in 5 batches. (If you mix the mixture well at this point, you will have a delicate and smooth cake.)

* Step 5

Drain the excess liquid from the dried fruit, and coat with 1 tablespoon of the sifted flour. It will prevent them from sinking in the cake.

* Step 6

Add the remaining sifted flour to Step 4, followed by the dried fruit, then fold them into the batter in with a spatula. Make sure the mixture is not lumpy!

* Step 7

Mix in the brandy. Pour the batter into the pan, and drop it onto the counter about 3 times from the height of 20 cm to remove the air bubbles.

* Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes at 170°C. Insert a bamboo skewer and when it comes out clean, it's done.

* Step 9

If it seems like it might burn halfway through, cover with aluminium foil and continue baking.

* Step 10

Let it cool, and cover with plastic wrap. This will make the cake moist. Cut into slices the next day. Pound cakes taste delicious after 2-3 days.

* Step 11

I made it with 60 g of dried fruit this time.

* Step 12

Please bring the eggs to room temperature before using them If they are still cold, they will make the butter cold, and make the mixture separate easily.
