Use this Quick and Easy Pound Cake recipe to make a delicious dessert fit for any topping you wish.

Pound cake is as old as time. You know what they say, “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it!” Well, I only fixed it a little.

Pound cake got its name because each of the four ingredients were all in 1 pound weights. Time and techniques have advanced so I added a few things to make it extra delicious. This Quick and Easy Pound cake pairs well with almost any topping. Strawberries and whip cream, chocolate, lemon curd, dipped in fondue, the sky’s the limit. Get creative and have fun!

 

Quick & Easy Pound Cake 

 

Yield:

2 Loafs

 

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups Sugar
  • 4 sticks Butter
  • 8 large Eggs
  • 1 tsp Vanilla 
  • 3 cups Flour 
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • ¾ cup Whole Milk

 

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 325° 

 

2. Cream the sugar and butter together until light and fluffy. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula.

4. Sift the flour and baking powder together. The milk and flour mixture will be added to the mixing bowl in an alternating pattern starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until incorporated. Do not over mix. 

 

5. Prepare your loaf pans. This recipe makes 2 loafs each baked in standard-sized loaf pans 9.25 x 5.25 x 2.75. There are several ways to accomplish this, butter and flour or parchment on the bottom, but my favorite way is using Wilton’s Bake Easy spray. The cake slides out every time. 

Here is a link to my favorite baking spray. It is perfection, I do not bake without it!

6. Bake for 60-70 minutes. The cakes are ready when a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.  

 

7. Allow cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, run a knife between the cake and the pan on all four sides. Turn the cake upside down and it will slide right out of the pan.
