How to Make Old Fashion Butter Pound Cake
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for optimal mixing and texture.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, beating on low speed until combined.
- Increase mixer speed to medium-high and beat for 3-5 minutes, until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract and ½ cup milk until smooth.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 75-90 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should be golden brown.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
