Now that I've retired from teaching, I have more time to bake. This buttermilk pound cake is the one I make most often.

Time 1h40m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 ounces unsalted butter, cut into pieces and softened, plus 1 tablespoon
16 ounces cake flour, plus 2 tablespoons
16 ounces sugar
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup whole buttermilk, room temperature

Steps:

  • Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 375 degrees F.
  • Coat a 10-inch aluminum tube pan or 2 (9 by 5-inch) loaf pans with 1 tablespoon of butter and dust with 2 tablespoons of the flour.
  • Combine the remaining 12 ounces of butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer and cream for 6 minutes on medium speed, using the paddle attachment. Stop once to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. With the mixer running at lowest speed, add the eggs, 1 at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Again stopping once to scrape down the sides of the bowl. This will take approximately 1 1/2 minutes. Add the vanilla and salt and beat on medium speed for 30 seconds.
