Bread machine pound cake - an experiment to see whether it might be a baking solution in hot weather. The Bread Machine Diva recipe I used did not include salt and had only 1 tsp vanilla. While the texture was good, and this worked fine under strawberries & ice cream, the flavor un-topped wasn’t wow. I plan to use this Bread Dad recipe for my next one; it has salt and 3x the vanilla (Tbl not tsp). I also will try using the quick bread setting on my machine (shorter mix cycle, longer bake cycle), rather than the cake setting’s more total time (3 mix/rest cycles, but shorter baking cycle). My cake cycle still left the center underdone initially - toothpick came out wet - and I used the separate BAKE setting for an added 16 minutes to finish.
