Southern Honey Poundcake Recipe with Don Victor Honey

Jul 26, 2021 by JCP

Hey, y’all! Lookin’ for the perfect dish to sweeten up your summer? Look no further than my Southern Honey Poundcake Recipe! My grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-aunt — three of the best cooks the south has ever known — are known for a version of this recipe. With the help of a top-tier honey on the market, Don Victor, I took their original recipe and brought it into 2021. This will be a new family favorite — that I promise you!

This post is in partnership with the Acorn Influence and The Padilla Group: Don Victor Foods. All opinions expressed, as always, are my own. Thank you for supporting those that make JCP Eats possible..

Using Honey In The Kitchen

While wWhile we often think of honey in a classic context, I wan’t y’all to hear me out: honey is one of the most delicious, versatile ingredients to include in your recipes! Whether you are using Don Victor Pure Honey or one of the flavored honeys (I adore the raspberry), you’ll be surprised at the vast amount of uses it can have in the kitchen. It is the perfect substitute for refined sugar!

Don Victor Honey

Honey can be used when baking, cooking, or stirring up a delicious cocktail; many people also use it in their beauty routines and for cold/flu relief.

Equipment

  • Stand mixer / hand mixer

Ingredients
  

  • 2 c cake flour
  • 2.25 sticks unsalted butter softened
  • 4 eggs
  • ¾ c sugar
  • ½ c Don Victor Honey
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoon Kentucky bourbon optional
  • fresh berries for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Liberally grease a 9x5 loaf pan. Line with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together eggs, vanilla extract, and honey in a bowl. If you choose to add bourbon, add it into the egg/vanilla/honey mixture.
  • Sift the cake flour, kosher salt, and baking powder.
  • In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together. Scrape the bowl down. Add egg/vanilla/honey mixture into the mixing bowl in three even increments. Mix only until incorporated + scrape the bowl after each one-third addition of egg/vanilla/honey.
  • Add in remainder of dry ingredients (sifted cake flour, kosher salt, and baking powder) a little at a time on low speed. Mix just until incorporated.
  • When fully and evenly mixed + combined (be sure to check the bottom of the bowl for dry ingredients), pour the batter into the greased loaf pan. Bake for 50-55 minutes. Start checking with a toothpick/skewer at 45 minutes. You will want the toothpick/skewer to come out clean.
  • Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes. Slice, serve with fresh berries, and top with more Don Victor Honey if you desire!
