👩‍🍳 How to Make Classic Vanilla Pound Cake
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or a bundt pan.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3–5 minutes).
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the flour mixture.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top.
Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
