Nannys Easy Pound Cake Recipes

CLASSIC POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 10- cup bundt pan liberally with nonstick spray and set aside.
• In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment mix the butter and sugar together for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
• Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing until combined, scraping the sides as needed.
• Turn the mixer to low and add in the flour slowly until combined, again scraping the sides to ensure everything is combined evenly.
• Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 70-80 minutes, or until a knife inserted comes out clean. If you notice it is browning too much on the top, tent with foil.
• Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes and then release onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; stir into the batter alternately with the milk. Stir in vanilla. Distribute batter evenly between the prepared pans.
