Pound cake is a classic dessert that has been cherished for generations due to its rich flavor and dense texture. This basic pound cake recipe uses simple ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen, making it a convenient and delightful treat for any occasion.
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting for a smoother batter.
- Cream the butter and sugar thoroughly until the mixture is light and fluffy for a tender cake texture.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to avoid curdling.
- Gradually add flour to avoid over mixing, which could make the cake dense.
- Use a toothpick to check for doneness; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
