Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 5 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 12 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk, room temperature
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the baking vessel by thoroughly greasing and flouring a 10-inch bundt pan, then preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Using an electric mixer, whip softened butter and sugar together for approximately 5 minutes until the mixture becomes light and airy with a fluffy texture.
- Incorporate eggs individually into the butter-sugar mixture, ensuring thorough blending after each addition and scraping down bowl sides to maintain consistent texture.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour and salt, creating a dry ingredient mixture.
- Gradually fold the flour mixture into the creamed base, alternating with milk and maintaining a careful mixing technique to prevent overmixing.
- Gently introduce vanilla and almond extracts, stirring until just integrated.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the surface for even baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15-30 minutes, monitoring until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean.
- Allow the cake to rest in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then carefully invert onto a wire rack for complete cooling.
- Serve the pound cake plain or enhance with a light powdered sugar dusting, whipped cream, fresh berries, or a complementary scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Always use room temperature butter and eggs for the smoothest, most consistent batter texture.
- Cream butter and sugar thoroughly to create a light, airy pound cake with superior volume and softness.
- Avoid overmixing the batter after adding flour to prevent a tough, dense cake texture.
- Consider gluten-free flour alternatives like almond or coconut flour for those with dietary restrictions, adjusting liquid ratios slightly for best results.
