Heavenly Whipping Cream Pound Cake
One of my favorite pound cakes has to be whipping cream pound cake. I’m a sucker for that moist, tender, velvety texture although some would argue that this is the very thing that disqualifies it from being a true pound cake.
Never had a whipping cream pound cake before? Chances are you may have and probably just thought it was a really moist and light classic poundcake. It’s pretty much made the same way as a poundcake with the same basic ingredients but with heavy whipping cream instead of milk. The heavy whipping cream creates a very light, soft, tight crumb and makes the cake really moist.
The taste is pretty much like a classic pound cake as well, depending on the extracts you use. I always go with vanilla & almond extract or vanilla and butter extract with a bit of lemon extract. If you’re feeling creative I’ve read (never tried) that you can replace half of the heavy whipping cream with flavored coffee creamer. I plan on trying this in the fall time when all of those yummy limited-time flavored coffee creamers come out. I’ll report back.
I actually prefer to use slices of whipping cream poundcake for my strawberry shortcakes over sponge cake.

A friend made this cake recently for a dinner, we were fighting over it! It was delicious! Gonna try making it.
I”m so glad to hear you guys enjoyed it!!
Monique,
I’ve baked this glorious cake many times. It is simple and delicious. The almond extract adds a subtle flavor that really adds to the overall flavor.
Tips: Make sure your butter isn’t too soft, shake your whipping cream and vanilla extract well, blend EACH egg well…time consuming but a definite must! Thank you for the “realistic recipes” that every day folks can prepare and enjoy!
Be blessed and continue to prosper!
Thanks so much for the tips!!
