Honey Pound Cake in a Bread Machine

by CookPad

The secret to this amazing recipe is honey. Not much of a secret, since it is in the title, right? Well, there is another trick to it and that is the pancake mix. When you add the pancake mix into your recipe, you can skip sieving your flour. It just tastes better since the flour in it is much finer.

Naturally, while adding the ingredients of the bread into the baker, add the dry ingredients first and the liquid in the middle. If your baking machine has the Cake setting, use that. If not, just use the setting that makes the white bread. Depending on the machine strength, you could opt for the Quick setting, as well.

Bread Machine Sour Cream and Vanilla Bread

by Betty Crocker

OK, this is not 100% a pound cake, but it is pretty much close. That is why we left it for the end of this list. When you taste it, you will forgive it for not being a purebred pound cake. After all, it is absolutely delightful. If you top it with a bit of strawberry jam, like on this photo, you will definitely have just the perfect winter tread for a Sunday afternoon.

While making this cake, make sure that you don’t overdo it with the crust color. Since it is a soft cake, turning on the heat to make the thick crust will ruin its texture and possibly even ruin the entire cake. Opt for the Quick program if you don’t have the Sweet or Cake program on your bread machine.
