Classic Pound Cake
Report
Making Traditional Pound Cake is as easy as mixing up equal parts butter, sugar, eggs, and flour.
Share:
Ingredients
- 2 cups softened salted butter or 1 pound
- 2 cups granulated sugar or 1 pound
- 9 large eggs or 1 pound
- 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour or 1 pound
Instructions
- Lightly grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans with butter and dust with flour. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to cream the softened butter until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add the sugar and beat until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the mixture is smooth.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour, mixing in between each addition until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
- Evenly divide the batter between the two prepared loaf pans, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
- Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the tops begin to brown too quickly, tent the cakes with aluminum foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
- Once baked, let the cakes cool in the pans for 15 minutes. Then, remove them from the pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For Bundt Pans: You can bake this recipe in a 10- to 12-cup bundt pan. If using a bundt pan, increase the baking time by approximately 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- For Mini-Loaves: You can make 4 to 6 mini loaves using either 3x5 or 3x6-inch mini loaf pans. Divide the batter evenly among the pans. Reduce the baking time to about 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
