Classic Pound Cake

Classic Pound Cake

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup whole milk

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a bundt or tube pan.
2. Cream Butter and Sugar:
   • In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
3. Add Eggs:
   • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
6. Bake:
   • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool:
   • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Serve:
   • Slice and serve the pound cake plain, or with your favorite toppings like fresh berries, whipped cream, or a simple glaze.
