Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter and lightly dust with flour.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
- Add the large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with whole milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in the vanilla extract gently.
- For the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the pound cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Turn the cake out onto a wire rack and let it cool completely before slicing and serving.
