Best Pound Cake Ever

Ingredients:

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ cups unsalted butter, softened
• 3 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup milk
• 6 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a bundt or tube pan.

2. Cream the butter and sugar:
   In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes with an electric mixer).

3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

4. Mix in vanilla extract.

5. Sift the dry ingredients:
   In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

6. Alternate adding flour and milk:
   Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the flour. Mix just until combined—don't overmix.

7. Pour into prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

8. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Cool in the pan for about 10–15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

• Use room temperature ingredients for the best texture.
• Serve it plain, or with berries and whipped cream for extra yum!
• You can also lightly dust it with powdered sugar once cooled.
