Yellow pound cake
Yellow pound cake is a classic cake that gets its name from the use of butter, sugar, eggs, and flour in equal parts by weight, traditionally a pound of each. It has a rich and buttery flavor with a dense and moist texture.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter (room temperature)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy!
