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.
Watch me make this whipping cream pound cake from start to finish!

Wonderful cake! Made one for Thanksgiving Dinner and just put another in the oven just cuz! Easy,simple and delicious…….
I made this cake today and it’s the best pound cake I’ve made to date. Better than cream cheese and the 7-up pound cake. I will be using this recipe again and again. I used vanilla, freshly squeezed lemon, and rum flavors. This cake is awesome. I also found this recipe on my swan cake flour box, but saw your recipe on youtube first.
Thanks, Monique
I’ve never heard of a whipping cream pound cake before. I was googling ways to make the pound cake fluffier. Saw your video and I happened to have all of the ingredients already, so I decided to give it a try….at 1:00am. It turned out GREAT! Thanks for posting this recipe!!!!!!!! 🙂
Hi Diva,
my question is can I use salted butter instead of unsalted or it will give a horrible taste? Thanx
Delicious!!! I made this cake today. I don’t want to share….lol
