Units Scale

Ingredients:

    For the Pound Cake:

  • 1 pound (2 cups) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 large eggs
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube or bundt pan.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add the sugar, beating well after each addition.
  3. Add Eggs and Mix: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each.
  4. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Alternate adding the flour and milk, beginning and ending with flour. Mix just until combined after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and almond extract, if using.
  5. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes to 1 hour and 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • This rich, buttery pound cake is perfect on its own or topped with fresh berries and whipped cream.
  • For best results, use room temperature ingredients and don’t overmix once the flour is added.
  • It stores well tightly wrapped at room temperature for several days.
