Vanilla Pound Cake

Print Recipe

A classic Vanilla Pound Cake that combines rich, buttery flavor with a tender crumb, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 5 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk, room temperature

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease a 10-inch Bundt pan. Dust the greased pan with flour to avoid sticking.
  2. In a mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until fluffy and pale.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture, alternating between the two.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth it out evenly.
  7. Bake for 70 to 80 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Slice and serve, optionally dusting with powdered sugar.

Notes

Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for easier mixing. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
