Easy Vanilla Pound Cake
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups (340g) unsalted butter, softened
1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup (60ml) milk
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix
until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
