I'm a Chef... So Why Is Pound Cake Challenging Me? | Sunday From Scratch Ep. 1

Welcome to the very first episode of Sunday From Scratch! I've spent years working as a chef and culinary educator, but baking is one area where I'm constantly learning and growing. In this series, I'm stepping into the kitchen every Sunday to challenge myself, sharpen my skills, and making something completely from scratch. For Episode 1, I'm starting with one of my all-time favorites: Southern Pound Cake. My goal wasn't just to bake a cake, it was to better understand the techniques that create a buttery flavor, beautiful crust, and tender crumb. Along the way, I learned a few lessons that I'll definitely carry into future bakes. Whether you are an experienced baker, a beginner, or simply someone who loves good food, I am glad you're here. What's one bake you've always wanted to master? Let me know in the comments. New Sunday From Scratch episodes every Sunday. -Chef Shelbs #Sundayfromscratch #Poundcake #bakingjourney #southernbaking #bakingtips #iamchefshelbs #homebaking #fromscratch
