Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk or buttermilk
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (confectioners sugar)
  • 3 tablespoons milk (or more for desired consistency)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: zest of 1 lemon or orange for extra flavor

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease and flour a 10-inch bundt or tube pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy. This should take about 5 minutes.
  4. Add each egg one at a time, ensuring that you beat well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture in three parts alternating with the milk. Start and end with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined; be careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Bake for 75-85 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. If desired, add citrus zest for additional flavor.
  9. If your glaze is too thick, add more milk one teaspoon at a time until you achieve your preferred drizzle consistency.
  10. Once completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over your pound cake so it cascades down its sides beautifully. Enjoy!
