5.0 out of 5 stars The Pound Cake Cookbook, May 28, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Pound Cake Book (Hardcover)

I found this little pound cake cookbook by accident here on Amazon.com, and I am so happy I did. The author, Bibb Jordan explains what the meaning of pound cake is, it's origins, and how to make the "perfect" pound cake. I have a website for Home Baker's and I choose to include on my site a wonderful recipe from this book: Chocolate Truffle Pound Cake. This cake is amazing, like so many of the other ones in the book. I also make a recommendation on my site for home baker's to definitely purchase this book. I highly recommend it for the "Pound Cake Lover", and anyone who loves to bake wonderful pound cakes.

I would like to make one suggestion to the author, and that is to include how many servings the cakes make. Otherwise, the book, like the pound cakes are perfect.

I was really excited when I received this little book. I LOVE pound cakes and paid a small fortune to obtain this book. I am an experienced baker and although I already have a large collection of books I read the positive reviews and could not resist. What a disappointment! I have now tried numerous recipes all with very mediocre results. For example: the Pineapple-Macadamia Nut came out more like bread, Liza's Pound Cake heavy and fairly tasteless, and the Coffee Cake recipe does not compare to the version in "Perfect Cakes" by Nick Malgieri. I think the problem lies in how the ingredients are put in the mixer. It is better to put in a bit of flour, then some sour cream, then some flour again instead of lumping everything together. I really, really wanted to like this book. I tried numerous recipes but there was not a winner among them. The Pound Cake cookbook by Fran Wheeler produced far better results. Not recommended!
