How to Make Southern Pound Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 3 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 6 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup buttermilk and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared tube pan.
- Bake for 65-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
