Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 2.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract pure
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour sifted
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk room temperature

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with flour.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

This pound cake is delightful on its own, or serve with fresh berries and a dollop of whipped cream for an elegant dessert.
