Comment préparer George Washington Pound Cake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt or tube pan generously, tapping out any excess flour.
Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes with a stand mixer, longer with a hand mixer). Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Add 4 large eggs one at a time, beating well for about 30 seconds after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl between each egg to ensure thorough mixing.
Gently fold in 3 cups cake flour.
Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Pour batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Run a thin knife or spatula around the edges to loosen the cake.
Invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
