Ok, so who'd a thought cupcakes would be such a pain in the butt! I have a wedding order for May 26th for approx 150 cupcakes and the couple just want them done in plain pound cake. Sounds pretty simple but we've gone through two recipes so far and they haven't liked either of them...granted, neither have I 
! I can't believe how difficult it is to find a pound cake recipe that will keep it's texture in a small cupcake!
Anyone else done pound cake cupcakes and if so...would you mind sharing what recipe you used?
Thanks a bunch!
I found this recipe online. I've made it a couple of time and they came out good. HTH, Kris
Pound Cake Cupcakes
Yield: 18 cupcakes
Ingredients:
18 paper liners
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature, cut into small pieces
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
6 large eggs
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325ºF. Line one 12-cup cupcake tin and one 6-cup cupcake tin with paper liners.
2. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl to aerate and combine; set aside.
3. In a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat butter until creamy, about 4 minutes. Add sugar gradually, beating until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes, scraping down the bowl once or twice. Beat in vanilla extract. Beat in eggs one at a time, scraping down after each addition, allowing each egg to be absorbed before continuing. Add the flour mixture in 4 additions, beating just until smooth on low-medium speed after each addition.
4. Divide batter evenly among cupcake wells. Bake for about 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center shows a few moist crumbs.
5. Cool pans on racks for 5 minutes, then remove cupcakes to cooling racks to cool completely.
Hi where in Nova Scotai are you?I have a Cupcake Business and have great recipes.
Hi chyana66, you might want to check foodnetwork web site and type in pound cake in search field and you will come up with lots of recipes. My favorite it the Elvis Presley's Pound Cake, which I have only done this recipe in a tube cake pan, but not cupcakes though. You might want to try out the recipe and see how it come out for the cupcakes. Just remember not to fill cups too much cause you will over an over flow in your oven. Hope this helps. Enjoy!
