A Pound Cake Recipe from Street Treats
This is a guest post by Cake Spy.
CakeSpy Note: Street Treats, a mobile dessert truck in Seattle, recently sent this interesting story and recipe via their newsletter--very fun to see the process behind their recipe development! This was written by the Street Treats team:
We are often asked: How do you find recipes? We are constantly coming up with ideas and testing. We search for recipes from a variety of sources. We make those recipes as written. Then, 99.9% of the time, we make many modifications to the original recipe to decide on the perfect taste.
Recently, we had some of our wholesale clients asking for quick breads or pound cake. I found this pound cake recipe from my grandmother. My grandmother was a great cook! I can still smell her cooking as I write this. She had a real sweet tooth, like myself.

I generally choose chocolate or yellow/vanilla cakes. They cannot be dry, and I prefer them to be fluffy, not too dense. However, I have a soft spot for pound cake because my grandpa used to buy that as a treat for us when we were kids. My parents didn't really bake or cook, mostly all the cooking was done by grandma, and she rarely ever baked when I was growing up.
i just had some costco poundcake today, and i have to say, it was pretty decent. ofc, i'm not much of a gourmet... but it was nice and dense and buttery (just the way i like it), and not overly sweet, although there was a hint of a commercial syrupy taste.
