How to Make Another Good Pound Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 pound (4 cups) powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Gradually add 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon lemon extract.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan.
  7. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 45 minutes.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate. Allow to cool completely before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
