How to Make Golden Vanilla Pound Cake King Arthur Flour

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and vanilla extract for the glaze. Gently drizzle this mixture over the batter in the prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 75-80 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too quickly, tent loosely with foil.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
