Easy Pound Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

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

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or a loaf pan.

2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes.

3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

5. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

6. Pour into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top.

7. Bake: Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Cool: Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Serve: Enjoy your pound cake plain or with a dusting of powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or whipped cream!

Tips:

• Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best texture.
• You can add lemon zest, almond extract, or chocolate chips for extra flavor!
