Delicious Texas Pound Cake
The Texas Pound Cake is a delicious dessert made with buttermilk and sour cream. This dessert is very popular and there are many different recipes for it. You can choose from making the traditional pound cake recipe from scratch or you may choose to try a Tex-Mex style cake mix.
The choice of ingredients is almost limitless if you have your heart set on making a fresh, homemade cake. If you would like to try a different flavor, you could try a Mexican or Central American cake. Mexican Style Cake can consist of a tortilla, cheese, salsa and whatever vegetables you want to include. It is a wonderful way to make a meal more fun and you will likely find many people picking up this tempting cake at party stores around the country.
Tex-Mex cakes often include quinceanera and/or frijoles. These are traditional Mexican treats that are not too far from the traditional sponge cake. Quinceanera means “queen of the month.” In addition to being used in making cakes, quinceanera cakes are also used to make tamales and other Mexican desserts. To make a moist and tasty cake filling, you need to use a liquid yeast bread mix. Traditional flours such as all purpose flour and pastry flour can be used but they usually do not come out as moist as the liquid yeast bread mix so you may want to try using a pastry flour instead.
How to Make a Delicious Texas Pound Cake
Once you have your flours chosen, you are ready to start putting the cake batter together. For a true Texas Style cake, you will need to add hot sauce, cheese, milk and sour cream. The basic recipe for this cake has eggs, sugar, oil and buttermilk. You can modify this recipe to have a crumb topping, nuts, raisins and anything else that you would like.
Once the cake batter is blended, you are ready to frost it and spread it out on a lined baking sheet. If it is already baked, you can trim off the excess cake coating. If it is fresh from the oven or you have let it bake very long, you can use a cake leveler to make sure that the entire cake is covered. This cake can also be cooled by putting it in the refrigerator for about one hour before it is finished so that you can frost it and put it in the serving dishes. It is always best to serve your Texas Style cake right from the oven so that it will stay fresh until it is served.
You can send out your homemade Texas Style cake into as many parties and celebrations as you can. There are plenty of different recipes available for you to try. If you are a little creatively challenged, you can even make your own versions of some of the more popular Texas cakes that people will be inviting you to. For instance, how about a cinnamon roll cake? A fruitcake is always a hit at any gathering.
