Vanilla Rum Pound Cake

 Simple cake really needs the best ingredients ^^.



As I always say that I rarely eat low fat, low sugar food or sweet, because the best way to stay happy and healthy for me is eating real food, full fat, haha. When I eat good food that packed with full flavour I eat less as only 1 piece or dish of it can fulfil me. So, if I want to eat pound cake, it has to start with good and delicious butter. Luckily that it's easy to get good quality European style cultured butter from many supermarkets, well, the price is higher but it really worth every penny! 
I really recommend anyone who start baking that it's good to use the best ingredient that you can find (anyway, I mean the ingredients that you like the taste, not the highest price). Esp. when you bake something that so simple, as the taste of the ingredient will be the main actor. 
Actually, this cake is simple pound cake, that has a bit of rum added into it, so it filled with intoxicated fragrance of rum. Anyway, you can skip it if you don't have it or don't like it, ^^ and you will make vanilla pound cake instead.
PS. Pound cake will become moist after fully cover and rest for 1 night, but if you can resist just eat it right away, haha.

  1. I don't have an 18 X 7cm loaf pan. My smallest loaf pan is 8 X 4 inches. May I know if there's a pan substitute or a conversion? Thank you and hope to hear from you soon :)
