Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy using an electric mixer on medium speed, for about 3-4 minutes.
-
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
-
Mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Gradually add the flour and salt to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this could result in a tough pound cake.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even surface.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with a few moist crumbs.
-
Once done, remove the pound cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy a slice of this delicious cake on its own or with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream.
