11/3/2019 0 Comments Pumpkin Pound Cake![]() Hey everyone! This was this 5th week of genius hour. This week I decided to bake a pumpkin pound cake with a caramel glaze on top. This was definitely more challenging than the brownies I made last time I baked, but it overall turned out really well. I was able to spend good quality time with my grandma, and share it with friends and family. I decided to bake pumpkin pound cake this week because it is something that not only I enjoy, but my family too. Pumpkin reminds me a lot of thanksgiving and can be used in many ways. This wasn't the first time I baked a pound cake. My grandma used to own a bakery and I would always help her out. Chocolate pound cake was my favorite thing to bake and I actually used to have the recipe memorized. It had been a while since I had made a pound cake so I figured that I should probably get some help from my grandma. I started by mixing all of the dry ingredients together. This was probably the easiest part, but also kind of messy. I next had to add butter, sugar, eggs, and then the bowl of dry ingredients, into a mixer. I hadn't used a mixer in so long, so it was fun learning how to use one again. After it was all mixed together I chose to add in some pecans. One of the hardest parts is pouring it all into the pound cake pan. It is hard to make sure that it is all leveled and that there will be no holes, but with the help of my grandma it turned out great. While waiting on the cake to finish baking, I made the caramel glaze. It took a little while to make, but tasted so good. It went perfectly with the pumpkin taste. I got all of the glaze poured on top and finally finished. I am happy that it turned out good and that everyone liked it. I will be making this again for the holidays I'm sure. It was a longer process, but definitely worth it. I recommend making this for your family if you want a delicious treat for Thanksgiving. Make sure to check out the recipe and tune in for Ava's baking next week! - Cassidy
