Slap Ya Mama Pound Cake!!!

Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients

1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and the Slap Ya Mama seasoning.
2. Sifting the flour ensures no lumps remain and helps the cake stay light.

Step 5: Incorporate Dry and Wet Ingredients

1. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk in two parts.
   • Start and end with the flour mixture.
2. Mix gently on low speed or fold with a spatula to avoid overmixing, which can make the cake dense.
3. Add the vanilla extract and mix until just combined.

Step 6: Bake the Cake

1. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
2. Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, depending on your oven.
3. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center—if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, the cake is ready.
4. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack.

Step 7: Optional Glaze

1. Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
2. Drizzle over the cooled cake for a sweet, glossy finish.
3. For an extra kick, add a tiny pinch of Slap Ya Mama seasoning to the glaze—just enough to tease the flavor buds.

Step 8: Serve and Enjoy

• Slice thick pieces and enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea.
• This cake also pairs beautifully with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert perfection.

Tips for the Perfect Slap Ya Mama Pound Cake

• Room Temperature Ingredients: Eggs and milk at room temperature blend better and help create a smooth batter.
• Don’t Rush Baking: Pound cakes need low, slow baking to cook evenly and prevent cracks.
• Let it Rest: The flavor deepens if you let the cake rest for a few hours or overnight before serving.

This cake lives up to its bold name—it’s rich, buttery, and slightly spicy, making it unforgettable with every bite. Once you taste it, you’ll understand why it’s called Slap Ya Mama Pound Cake!!!
