Ingredients

Pound cake is a classic winter dessert that is sure to please your guests. To make the perfect pound cake, you will need the following ingredients: 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 ¼ teaspoons of baking powder, ¼ teaspoon of baking soda, ½ teaspoon of salt, ¾ cup of butter, 2 cups of granulated sugar, 4 eggs, 1 cup of whole milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon of almond extract.

Instructions

Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl after each addition.

Alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Beat until just combined. Finally, stir in the vanilla and almond extracts. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
