Buttercream Pound Cake won the 19th Pillsbury Bake-Off in 1968. Recipe on Pillsbury.com by Phyllis Lidert of Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

GreaseFlourPan

Start by greasing and flouring the pan. I used a Bundt pan and since it’s fluted, cake can stick if it’s not prepared properly. I used shortening and a lot of it, then coated the pan with flour.

Butter

Beat the butter until light and fluffly.

Batter

Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until well combined. At medium speed, add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Eggs should be at room temperature (so important when baking cakes). Beat in lemon peel and lemon juice. Then gradually add the flour and baking powder with the mixer on low. Blend well.

BatterPoppySeeds

Take out 3 cups of the batter and mix in the poppy seed filling.

BatterInPan

Add half of the plain batter to the prepared pan. Then spoon in the poppyseed batter. Top with remaining plain batter.

Cake

Bake the cake at 350°F. for about 1 1/2 hours or until a toothpick inserted into cake comes out clean. While it’s baking, you can make the glaze which is just powdered sugar and lemon juice. Drizzle over the cooled cake.

I thought it looked very pretty with the rose in the middle.

Buttercream Pound Cake would be the perfect cake for a tea party. The combination of lemon and poppyseed filling is delicious.
