How to Make Little Vanilla Pound Cake For 2

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 6-inch or 8-inch round cake pan.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar, top with whipped cream and fresh berries, or drizzle with melted chocolate – get creative and enjoy!
