A traditional butter pound cake is always a great choice, this recipe is really simple and it doesn’t require many ingredients. To accompany the cake we are going to make a delicious and soft vanilla frosting.

Ingredients

For the cake:

• 2 cups of self-rising flour, sifted
• 1 cup of butter, room temperature
• 1 cup of Natvia 100% Natural Sweetener
• 1 cup of milk
• 3 eggs, large

• 2 cups Natvia Icing Mix
• 2 tsp vanilla extract

Method

For the pound cake:

1. Preheat the oven to 180º C.
2. Cream your butter and Natvia together, it doesn’t matter if you do it with an electric mixer or by hand but mix them until light and fluffy.
3. Add your eggs and keep whisking.
4. Finally incorporate your sifted flour and milk, alternating between them in two batches.
5. Pour the batter in a loaf pan and bake it for 25 minutes or until you are able to insert a toothpick in the middle of the cake and this comes out clean.
6. When ready, remove from the pan and let it cool down completely.

For the frosting:

1. Whisk together the room temperature butter and vanilla extract.
2. When combined start adding Natvia Icing Mix, 1 tbsp at a time.
3. Mix until all combined.
4. Take your pound cake and cut 10 – 12 pieces.
5. Add around 2 tbsp of frosting on each piece, just like a toast, spread it carefully.
6. Optional: drizzle some honey on top of the frosting for extra flavour. (if you are diabetic please avoid honey or other sugar toppings)
