Ingredients

12 servings
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan.

  2. With a hand or stand mixer, cream butter, sugar, and vanilla until very light and fluffy, about 7-8 minutes. Add eggs one at a time and beat to combine after each addition.

  3. Combine flour and salt. Add the flour mixture a little bit at a time to the butter mixture, beating just until combined after each addition.

  4. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

  5. Remove the pound cake from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
