Ingredients - The Magical List!
Here are the magical ingredients that will transform your kitchen into a bakery:
- 1 cup of unsalted butter, softened (because we love it soft!)
- 2 cups of granulated sugar (for that sweet, sweet life)
- 4 large eggs (not the ones you used for last night’s breakfast!)
- 3 cups of all-purpose flour (the stretchy kind)
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder (for some lift, like your spirits!)
- 1 teaspoon of salt (just a pinch, trust me)
- 1 cup of milk (the creamy kind, please)
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract (the essence of yum!)
Instructions - Let’s Get Baking!
Alright, grab your mixing bowls and follow these steps to pound your way to cake heaven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Your cake is going to need a warm welcome!
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy. You want it to feel like a cloud—no pressure!
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, like you’re trying to win an egg-lympics. Make sure they are well incorporated!
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. It’s like a dry party, and everyone is invited!
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined. Don’t overmix, or your cake might get a bit too tight!
- Add the vanilla extract and mix it in, set the mood for deliciousness!
- Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan (or any other baking pan that feels special) and pour in your batter.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Your kitchen will smell amazing—an irresistible scent!
- Once done, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes; then transfer it to a wire rack. Your masterpiece is almost ready!
- Slice it up and serve with a grin—this cake deserves a spotlight!
There you have it—a classic pound cake that’s rich, buttery, and will melt in your mouth. Happy baking, and may your cake be fluffier than a cloud!
