Classic Old-Fashioned Pound Cake

Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan or tube pan.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 70-80 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
