How to Make One Bowl Perfect Pound Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube or bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Beat on low speed until just combined.
  3. Increase speed to medium and beat for 3 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  5. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, and the top springs back when lightly touched.
  6. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Once completely cool, frost with your favorite buttercream frosting or serve plain. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
