Pound Cake Recipe || Vanilla Cake Recipe || How to make Vanilla Cake with step-by-step photos and Video

Vanilla Pound Cake is the traditional classic, sweet, super soft tea cake recipe, that is made with a few basic ingredients, but in taste is so good. Cakes can be intimidating to bake, but pound cakes and loaf cakes are much easier and quicker, and this pound cake is a close second favorite to our all-time favorite Chocolate Cake Slices.

I always recommend adding buttermilk to the cake batter because this brings softness and a light, rather dense texture. That I don’t like to eat if you don’t prefer using buttermilk in cake batter, then milk can be used at room temperature. Making a perfect cake depends on accurate measurement. For which you must use a kitchen scale instead of a cup measurement 

Here I wrote by using a kitchen scale measurement, so I will suggest using it to perfect cake results like my recipe. Trust me, after following my recipe, you won’t want to buy a pound cake from the bakery. So soft and sweet cake

I am not self-promoting; once you try it, you'll see my point. You’ll love making this pound cake recipe on the weekends because it’s great for brunch or to serve with coffee when you’re having friends and family over. You could also make this by replacing the vanilla extract with orange extract, a dusting of powdered sugar, and a teaspoon of orange zest on top.

For the best result, follow my detailed step-by-step photo, video, and instructions tips below. 

Here I will tell you about my experience regarding making a soft cake. that I learned from my mistakes initially

                                        

SOME  TIPS FOR MAKING THE PERFECT POUND CAKE:

1. To make a soft and perfect cake, all ingredients that go into the cake should be at room temperature.
2. Bring your ingredients to room temperature. When mixing the butter and sugar together, wait until they look light and fluffy, about 3 minutes, to make sure enough air has been incorporated. This is a critical part of this pound cake recipe, so be patient here.
3. The egg makes the cake soft and spongy, so if you are vegetarian or vegan or have an allergy, you can replace it with yogurt, but I'll highly recommend using condensed milk instead of yogurt, along with using baking powder and 1/4  baking soda. 
4. If you prefer using yogurt, then ½ tsp use white vinegar along with baking soda and baking powder. These ingredients help to raise the cake properly, and it will remain soft and spongy.y
5. Don’t remove the pound cake from the loaf pan immediately. You want to let the cake cool about halfway, at least 10 minutes, before flipping it out of the pan and letting it come to room temperature.
6. Use butter and flour to grease your pan, not cooking spray, which may prevent the cake from fully rising.
7. Don’t use an electric beater for mixing dry ingredients with batter since the batter has a lot of air bubbles that help to raise the cake; mixing can remove bubbles, and your cake will turn dense and hard.
8. Maintaining the accurate oven temperature is crucial for making soft and light pound cakes. If the temperature is too high, the cake may burn on the outside and remain uncooked on the inside. Conversely, if the temperature is too low, the cake may turn out soggy and dense. The ideal temperature for baking cakes is 180°C.

1. Use a toothpick to check the doneness of your cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready. If it starts browning around the edges, it is over-baked, and your cake will lose a lot of moisture.
2. Using a large quantity of baking powder will make your cake taste spoiled
3. I won’t recommend using a pot to bake a cake, as my result is not as good as it should be, but if you are used to baking cakes in a pot, then keep one thing in mind: the pot should have a wide and thick base  so that it can be properly preheated from all sides  

How to Store Vanilla Pound Cake:

Serve: Once cooled, remove the pound cake from the loaf pan, slice, and serve with any of your favorite toppings or ice cream.

Store: Pound cake will keep at room temperature and tightly sealed for 3-4 days. I don’t usually recommend putting the cake in the refrigerator, but pound cake won’t go stale as quickly due to the density of the cake.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease the 8×4-inch loaf pan with butter.

                                     

Sift the flour and add baking powder, yellow food color, and salt. Stir to combine well, and set it aside.

                                         

Crack the eggs one by one into the small bowl and then transfer them to the mixing bowl. Start beating the egg at low speed for a few seconds, then add sugar. 

        

Now increase the speed gradually, Beat until the egg mixture turns creamy and fluffy. Once it turns to light and fluffy batter, pour milk and oil, and then start beating once again on low speed, add vanilla essence, and mix slowly with a hand beater.

                                           

Add dry ingredients little by little, and fold the maida slowly by hand; otherwise, the batter may sit. Likewise, finish the maida by putting it into the batter. The batter consistency should be thick, and the pouring state.

                           

Transfer the cake batter to the loaf pan and tap it down to remove excess air. Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 180 Celsius for 40-45 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean.

                       

 

   

Once the pound cake is baked, leave it for 10 minutes. Next, scrape the edges carefully and take the cake out of the loaf pan, and let it cool down completely on a wire rack.

                                               

Once cooled, cut into slices.

In the lukewarm water, add sugar and yeast, and dissolve them very well. Keep aside

     

Lined the butter paper on the baking tray

            

In a small bowl, put egg yolks with milk and whisk them well. 

Now take a large mixing bowl and sift the flour along with baking powder, salt, and food color.

                               

Stir to mix them, and keep aside until required.

                 

In the flour bowl, add milk powder and egg. Mix them together very well with the help of a spatula. Now, pour dissolved water into the flour.

                        

Start kneading to a soft dough for approx 5-8 minutes, then meanwhile pour oil. Keep kneading till the dough is formed.

Apply the oil all over the dough and transfer to another bowl. Cover the dough with a plastic cling or kitchen towel, and leave it to rise for around 2-3 hours in a warm place.

This dough will look sticky, but don’t worry, it will be set after proofing. 

                

After 2-3 hours, take out the dough bowl and transfer it to the working place. Knead it again with some flour if it is still looking sticky; otherwise, just punch it down for around 2-3 minutes.

Now cut the dough in half.

                 

Divide the dough into equal portions and give it to the ball shapes.

                        

Take one ball at a time and flatten it between your palms. Place some raisins and tutti frutti in the center of the flattened dough ball. Seal the edges from all four sides like stuffed paratha balls.

                     

And give it to round bun shapes.

                 

In the second method, you can place dry fruits and tutti frutti in the center of the flattened balls. Roll it and give it a bun shape. Now it depends on your choice, which method you use, or which is easy for you.

          

Repeat the same process with all remaining dough balls and place them on a baking tray. Cover them with a kitchen towel and leave them to further rise for 15 minutes.

                             

Meantime switch on the oven and preheat it to 250 C for 30 minutes. The buns have risen. 

Apply egg wash on buns. 

                      

Put in the preheated oven at 200 °C for 20-25 minutes.

                          

Once the buns become nicely golden brown in color, take them out of the oven. Apply some melted butter to baked buns.

                         

Transfer to the wire rack, then cover them with the kitchen towel. This thing makes your bun super soft and tasty.

                       

Now, spongy and super soft, delicious fruit buns are ready.

Calzone Pizza Recipe | Stuffed Pizza

Calzone Pizza Recipe || Stuffed Pizza   || How to Make Calzone Pizza with step-by-step photos and video.

Calzone pizza is a delicious Italian dish originating from Naples. It consists of a flaky, golden-brown crust that is folded into a crescent shape and stuffed with various fillings and cheese. While it shares similarities with pizza, it is not the same. In my first attempt at making a calzone, I used minced meat filling combined with a creamy white sauce, and I’m happy to report that it turned out successfully. You can customize your calzone with a variety of fillings, including vegetables, chicken, beef, and mutton. To give my calzone a spicy kick, I added red chili powder. While traditional Italian pizza typically uses paprika, I opted for red chili powder to suit my taste. Feel free to adjust the spice level to your preference!

Tips for making Perfect Calzones:

1. The part of this calzone recipe that requires the most skill is making the dough. Our homemade Pizza Dough recipe is our tried and true method and has all the instructions you need to break down making pizza dough at home.
2. Fully sauté the mince before filling. Make sure to sauté your mince before filling the calzone. Sautéing the mince releases most of its liquid, so you won’t wind up with a soggy calzone.
3. Don’t overstuff it! When filling a calzone pizza, add less cheese and mince filling than you think you’ll need. An overstuffed calzone will start oozing in the oven, and the crust will get soggy. Overfilling it will also make it tougher to crimp the edges of the calzone closed and will make the whole process incredibly messy (it’d still be delicious though!

To prepare this recipe, first knead the pizza dough and let it rise for an hour. Follow the best homemade pizza dough. 

                                                               

"Gather all the required ingredients and prepare them accordingly."

                                

Take a saucepan and add butter. Heat it on a low flame until the butter is melted. Once the butter has melted, add chopped garlic and sauté it on a low flame for a minute. 

Then pour in milk, followed by cream and cheese. Stir everything well on a low flame until everything is incorporated. Remove it from the flame. Your white sauce is ready! You can keep it aside for later use.

                                         

Take another pan or pot and add oil. Heat it up and then add chopped onions. Sauté them for 3-4 minutes on medium flame until they become translucent. Now add the mincemeat and fry it with the onions until the water dries up.

Add the powder and spices, mix well, and then add the herbs. Keep mixing on low-medium flame while adding mushrooms and white sauce to the mince.

           

Stir to combine well.
                                         

Allow the minced meat to cook on medium flame until

the oil is absorbed. Separates. Then, add flour to the meat and stir well to combine. The filling is now ready to be set aside.               

                 

                                   

Punch the dough to remove excess air, shift it to the working surface, dust the flour_knead the dough again for 2-3 minutes, and divide into equal portions. Then give it a ball shape.

                           

Take one dough ball and place it on a floured surface. Gently press the dough ball and then roll it until it becomes a round shape of around 5-6 inches in diameter. Use a fork to pierce the roti to prevent it from puffing up. Next, apply pizza sauce on one half of the dough circle.

Add the mince filling mixture, cheese, black olives, and a pinch of oregano to the same half of the dough. Be sure to leave about ½ inch of space around the edge of the dough.

                        

Fold the dough in half to form a half-moon shape, crimp the edges with a fork, and transfer the calzone to the baking tray using a spatula. 

                                                  

Repeat the same process for all three calzones, and place them on the baking tray. Cover the tray and allow the calzones to rise for an additional 20 minutes. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 200°C. 

Brush the calzones with a milk wash and then make small slits with a sharp knife. Bake the calzones at 200°C until they are golden brown, which should take around 20-25 minutes.

                 

                         

Remove calzones from the oven and spread butter on top.

Cover with a kitchen napkin and let sit for 5 minutes.        

                                               

After allowing it to cool, slice the dish from the center to reveal a cheesy, golden-brown, flaky crust.

                                              

                                              

Transfer to the serving plate.                                                                                                                                     

Serve with French fries and ketchup.p
