Best Buttermilk Pound Cake recipe I ever!

We have found that when using fondant to decorate a cake, or when carving a cake, it is preferable to use a slightly denser cake. This recipe was used for making a wedding cake that had to be carved. The cake was 2 by 4 feet and had several layers. It was carved to look like a fjord surrounded by hills, homes and a church. A Viking ship carved from Rice Krispy/marshmallows was in the fjord. It withstood a 4-hour transport to the wedding rehearsal site and was a great success.

Recently we used it to create a Dragon Cake for the one-year-old in the family.

Prep time: 15 min

Baking time:1 hr 45 min

Ingredients:

¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 c butter
3 c white sugar
6 eggs
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk
3 c all-purpose flour

First, preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease one 9 or 10-inch tube pan. Mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat butter with sugar. Mix in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the lemon and the vanilla extracts. Gently mix in flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 90 minutes. Open the door after one hour. The cake is done when it begins to pull away from the pan. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.

Please don't let the cake overbake!

Paleo Food is growing in popularity and for many reasons.

As Paleo Adults grow in number the result is a growing desire for fun paleo part food for children.

Why Paleo Party Recipes for Kids?

For those who are just starting the paleo adventure, here is an interesting and helpful post from Sylvie from Hollywood Homestead about how to get children to start eating and enjoying a paleo diet- toddler edition.

She also shares her Paleo Tips and Tricks: Attending a Birthday Party.

The recipes in the following list are there because they are great party fare. As the mom of four grown children and grandmother to two beautiful grandchildren, these are recipes I enjoy serving my family.

They are child-friendly.
They are easy to eat finger food
Already popular types of food for children
They are fun to eat foods
Great for kids and adults (I am basing that on my tastes—-They just look too good to pass by.)

So as you plan your next party, you may want to include some of these paleo party treats in your menu. They are also great for everyday eating. I am going to make the meatloaf cupcakes with sweet potato frosting for my grandson on my next visit. He already is a fan of sweet potatoes so this could be truly fun. The Sticky Honey Garlic Wings look great for grandson and grandma to share when his parents enjoy their date night.

Enjoy the following party recipes from great paleo chefs and have fun and be healthy.
