Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix in the flour mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
If you want, I can also create a fun, casual, “Southern-style” version of the instructions to match the playful name “Slap Ya Momma Pound Cake.” It would give the recipe a personality that pops! Do you want me to do that?
