This is the Best Pound Cake Ever! The Combination of the Three Flavorings Is Delicious

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 1 tsp lemon extract
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder (optional, for a slightly lighter texture)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a bundt or loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3–5 minutes.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder (if using).
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with milk. Begin and end with flour.
  6. Mix in vanilla, almond, and lemon extracts until well combined.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 60–75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
