pound cake Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup milk

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
