Traditional Pound Cake is made with equal parts butter, sugar, eggs, and flour. Anything else is just a variation!
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups softened salted butter or 1 pound
- 2 cups sugar or 1 pound
- 9 large eggs or 1 pound
- 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour or 1 pound
INSTRUCTIONS
- Lightly grease 2 (9×5 inch) loaf pans with butter and dust with flour. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to cream butter until light and fluffy. Beat in sugar until smooth.
- Add in eggs one at a time and beat until smooth. Slowly add in flour, mixing in between additions.
