Pound cake recipes are also very tasty with a side of ice cream and chocolate sauce drizzled over the top. You can also top your pound cake with any flavor of buttercream frosting or cream cheese frosting, or cover the pound cake recipe with a simple vanilla glaze.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups butter, softened
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • confectioners' sugar, optional

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 300°. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in extract. Gradually add flour alternately with milk, beating just until blended.
  2. Pour into a greased and floured 10-in. tube pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 40 minutes.
  3. Cool for 15 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. If desired, sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
