Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 226 grams unsalted butter
- 400 grams granulated sugar
- 5 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 300 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 180 milliliters heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F). Grease and flour a 10-cup bundt pan or a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together with a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.
Stir in the vanilla extract until evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in two additions, alternating with the heavy cream. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Beat until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 70-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the pound cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or with a dollop of whipped cream and berries for added flair.
