This is the Best Pound Cake Ever!


Ingredient

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan or loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  6. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  7. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 60–75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
  10. Slice, serve, and enjoy the most delicious, buttery pound cake ever!
