A perfectly baked cake is a delight to serve and a treat to the taste buds. The inviting aroma of freshly baked cake can make you drool with anticipation. Serving a warm, freshly-baked pound cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream is sure to impress your guests.
Here’s what you’ll need for this recipe:
Step 1: Cream butter and sugar
In a large mixing bowl, beat together 2 cups unsalted butter and 4 cups granulated sugar until they are light and fluffy. This should take around 5-7 minutes.
Step 2: Add eggs
Next, add 8 large eggs into the mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Step 3: Add flour mixture
In another bowl, sift together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder. Gradually add this to the butter mixture, alternating with 1 cup sweet milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Step 4: Add vanilla extract
Stir in 1 tablespoon vanilla extract until well combined into the batter.
Step 5: Pour into pan and bake
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth out the top using a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 6: Cool and serve
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for around 20 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
With this recipe, you’ll have a perfect cake suitable for any occasion. Enjoy it plain or add your favorite fruit topping such as freshly sliced strawberries or lemon glaze. Happy baking!
