Classic Pound Cake

Who doesn't love a classic pound cake? Easy to make, smells amazing and can be served so many ways.

 

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups Zulka® sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard-sized loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set it aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and Zulka® sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined after each addition. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the pound cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, slice and serve this delicious pound cake as is, or pair it with your favorite toppings or spreads.
