Perfect Pound Cake
This pound cake is so moist and buttery, you'll love it- even if you've never been a fan of pound cake. Made with only 6 ingredients, this cake is easy to make and extremely versatile.
Ingredients
- 1 lb butter, softened (4 sticks)
- 3 cups sugar
- 6 eggs
- 3 cups all purpose flour sifted
- 1 cup cake flour sifted
- 3/4 cups milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp fiori di sicilia extract (or almond, lemon, coconut, etc)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 F / 149 C / gas mark 2. Grease bundt pan. Make sure to get every little groove of the pan you're using.
- In large mixing bowl, beat butter with electric mixture on medium speed until light, fluffy and creamy. This will take about 5 minutes.
- Add sugar, about half a cup at a time, beating in between additions.
- Add eggs, one at a time, just until the yolk is incorporated.
- Add flour, about half a cup at a time, alternating with milk. Beat at low speed just until the flour is incorporated. Add extracts and mix on low.
- Pour batter into greased pan. Smooth out the surface of the cake. Do not over fill or the batter will rise and form a dome at the top.
- Bake for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until pick or cake tester comes out clean. Let cook in the pan for about 15 minutes, then invert onto wire rack to continue cooling.
