Classic Vanilla Pound Cake

6. Bake:
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Cool and serve:
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired.

💡 Baker’s Tips

  • Use room-temperature ingredients for a smoother batter and even bake.

  • Don’t overmix the batter—it can make the cake dense.

  • Choose high-quality vanilla for a more pronounced flavor.

🍓 Serving Ideas

  • Serve with a handful of fresh berries for a fruity contrast.

  • Add a dollop of whipped cream for an airy, creamy topping.

  • Drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce to make it more indulgent.
