Another bread machine pound cake, this one using the Bread Dad recipe. I’m happy with the result, made using the Quick Bread setting and medium crust setting (recipe called for light crust) it came out fully done in the 1 hr 40 min cycle - no extra baking time was needed. For both versions, I used a small spatula to scrape down the sides and drag thru the batter after the first mix, to help make sure the flour was fully mixed in.
SIde by side slices photo Bread Dad cake left was not as tall as Bread Machine Diva’s, on right. Bread Dad cake was more tender and had slightly smaller and more even crumb.
This recipe uses more milk and 1 less egg than the Bread Machine Diva version that I made a few days ago (see June WAYB). It also uses 1 T vanilla (other recipe had 1 tsp) and adds 1/2 tsp salt. The resulting cake is very good plain as well as under berries, and i noticeably softer/more tender than the first one. I sliced it after only 30 minutes cooling (recipe says cool 2 hours) and slices tended to bend halfway. Another time I’d wait the full 2 hours, or cut the loaf in half end to end (to intentionally make it easy to cut half slices).
