oh what a wonderful idea! looks delicious!
The great thing is, when you’ve baked for a while already, you can break some rules (change the pan to your liking, add nuts and berries and such), and sometimes even tell when a recipe is dead wrong and predict if one will give a bad result before you’ve wasted any ingredients!
The pound cake looks wonderful!!! Absolutely delicious I must say!!!
Pound cake looks delicious.
I love blueberries
pfff it’s not fun, you are the best with malaysian and asian food but when you cook normal food you are also….the best…just amazing pictures for this delicious recipe! Un immense bravo! cheers
I’m guessing your wonderful tips for newbie bakers come from experience? Well, we have all done all of those things! For some reason I started collecting Bundt pans a few years ago, so I’m always looking for new things to bake in them. Thanks!
Yay! Your on your way to becoming a baker-extraordinnaire! It looks yummy! I want it right now with my coffee!
your baking pointers crack me up! i think your cake came out beautifully. for me, baking is like chem lab. i don’t know if that helps or makes people run in the other direction ;) great job!
That’s so funny that you posted this today. I just posted my favorite banana bread recipe from southern food about – failed attempts aside, this cake looks simply delicious.
Your baking tips had me laughing, nodding and agreeing.
The cake would go well with one of those teas from my blog don’t you think? :D
Yumz…you’re planning to conquer all categories of cooking??? ;o)
bee, i don’t believe this. you tried to add extra butter to a recipe? and cream instead of milk? lol. i’m always trying to do the opposite. your cake looks gorgeous.
There is a lot of science involved in baking but once you get the hang of it it becomes art. Some essential cookbooks we have in our household: “The Bread Bible” and “The Cake Bible” by Ruth Berenbaum, and “The Bread Baker’s Apprentice” by Peter Reinhart.
What I wanna know is, how did you keep the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the pan?
You’re so spot on with the baking tips, unfortunately I had to learn them through the hard way. Wish I could stop trying to be creative with something I haven’t quite mastered yet haha. Awesome looking cake you got there :)
Your pound cake looks pretty good. I have been having some problems with my baking as well. I guess I just need to practice more.
really nice cake……baking is just like doing anything…practise make perfect…
well, practice makes perfect. I believe after a few more attempts, fans of Rasa Malaysia should be able to see more posts on baked goods from u! ;-) Btw, great pic!
Hey RM! Who is this Ralph guy that keeps giving you eggs? I want to know him! seems I’m always running out!
Great looking cake, RM!
I’m also beginning my quest for the perfect baked good – and it’s nice to know even accomplished chefs have some trouble with this new art form. But the cake looks delicious – and I’ll remember your tips!
Definitely some good tips! Your pound cake looks perfect, I love that you baked it in a bundt pan. :)
All –
Thanks for your kind comments, sorry I haven’t been able to respond to my comments lately. Anyway, thanks!
Anonymous – thanks for the right pan suggestion/advice.
Nate 2.0 – I followed the recipe and dredge the blue berried in one cup of flour and then fold them into the batter. It works!
Oh for the love of food – LOL. Ralph is not a guy, it’s a chain food store here in California, but the ones in my neighborhood is having the free eggs promo. You really crack me up thinking that Ralph is a guy! LOL!!!
This looks absolutely delicious! I love my pound cake with blueberries, so this is a good one for me to try out!
Im not really a pound cake fan but your blueberry pound cake looks so moist. I might even try your blueberry pound cake recipe. ;)
So, the 1 cup of flour is used only to dredge the bleberries and can be discarded, right?
im baking the cake right nOw and it smells delicious! I plan on using a lemon glaze to top off this wOnderful recipe. I lOve this site! i bOOkmarked it! amazing!
