  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

Preparing the Pound Cake Batter

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and prepare a 9×5-inch loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer or whisk.
  • Add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the whole milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Incorporating CBD

  • Once the pound cake batter is well mixed, add the CBD-infused oil to the bowl.
  • Gently fold the CBD-infused oil into the batter until evenly distributed. Avoid overmixing to maintain the desired texture.

Baking the Pound Cake

  • Pour the prepared pound cake batter into the lined or greased loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
  • Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
  • Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Rotate the pan halfway through baking to ensure even browning.
  • Once baked, remove the pound cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.

Cooling and Serving

  • After 10 minutes, carefully remove the pound cake from the pan by lifting it out using the parchment paper or flipping it onto a cooling rack.
  • Allow the CBD-infused pound cake to cool completely on the cooling rack before slicing and serving.
  • You can serve the pound cake as is or add a dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant touch.

Storage and Reusing

  • If you have any leftover CBD-infused pound cake, store it in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • The pound cake
  • will remain moist and flavorful for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate the pound cake for up to a week.
  • To reheat individual slices, place them in a microwave-safe dish and heat for a few seconds until warmed through.
  • You can also toast the slices in a toaster or toaster oven for a crispy texture.
  • If you want to reuse the pound cake in other recipes, consider using it as a base for trifle or bread pudding, or crumbling it to make a delicious crust for cheesecake.
