To get started with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can have pound cake using 8 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you cook it.

The ingredients needed to make Pound Cake:

1. Get 1 lb (4 sticks) butter, plus more for pan
2. Make ready 3 cups sugar
3. Make ready 6 eggs
4. Take 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pan
5. Prepare 1/2 tsp fine salt
6. Make ready 1/2 tsp baking powder
7. Make ready 1 1/2 cup milk
8. Prepare 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions to make Pound Cake:

1. Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. (The butter will become a lighter yellow color; this is an important step, as the job of the mixer is to incorporate air into the butter so the cake will rise. It will take 1 to 7 minutes, depending on the power of your mixer.)
2. Gradually add sugar, beating at medium speed until light and fluffy. (Again, the times will vary, and butter will turn to a fluffy white.)
3. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until yellow yolk disappears.
4. Add flour to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour. Beat at low speed just until blended after each addition. (The batter should be smooth and bits of flour should be well incorporated; to rid batter of lumps, stir gently with a rubber spatula.) Stir in extracts.
5. Pour into a greased and floured 10-inch tube pan. (Use vegetable shortening or butter to grease the pan, getting every nook and cranny covered. Sprinkle a light coating of flour over the greased surface.)
6. Bake at 300° for 1 hour and 40 minutes or until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
7. Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from pan, and cool completely on a wire rack.
