Perfect Pound Cake Recipe

This Beyond EASY and DELICIOUS pound cake is an irresistible, moist, buttery, melt in your mouth treat with the perfect note of vanilla. I live for a slice with my coffee in the morning but it’s an amazing dessert when paired with some whipped cream and berries and honestly it’s basically perfect when you’re just grabbing a slice on the go.

Here's an old lady tip: save that paper that was wrapped around the pound of butter you used, and use those papers to butter the pan. 😉

Hi John, I've been following you for the past 2 years. Every recipe I try of yours comes out AMAZING!.... eventually... 😆 your chocolate chip cookies are a part of our Christmas tree decorating tradition and your banana bread is made atleast 6 time a year. Anyway I want to thank you, I'm a 6 year combat veteran (Army) and was medically discharged in 2006. I was a helicopter mechanic and door gunner I served 14mo un Iraq and I continued in aviation and still work on airplanes for Lockheed Martin. As a veteran I struggle with PTSD and well its hard some time I have days I just can't get happy. When it gets bad I have found baking helps me center and get to the happy side of life and you and you videos have helped me stay on the happy side of life. I started baking with my 2 daughters both 8 now. Your videos have made a difference in my life and has positively impacted my family's life. Thank you and keep up the awesome videos.

Just finish making this pound cake and it turned out really good! soft and moist in the centre. I did have to increase the time in the oven for extra 15min to fully cook it through with the nice browned cracked top. Definitely recommending this recipe for anyone!

I love that you measure everything you need while baking and it’s not sitting ready to use. That’s the way it is in our own kitchens. Thanks for all your recipes. I love baking.

I have made this so many times over the last few months. My husband now requests this! I made a few for family as Christmas gifts ❤️ thank you for this awesome recipe!

This pound cake was so moist, butter and a dream to bite into. I made this today and my family loved it so so much. This is now going to be a regular thing in our house 😂 btw making my 3rd pound cake under 24 hours . Thank you so much 🙏🏼

The best cake recipe ever. I usually don’t like vanilla cakes and pound cakes, but this one WOW.

[NosyHausfrau]

I made this tonight and my guys (hubby and son) went bonkers. It will be on the family menu forever no doubt. Thanks to you I get to surprise my family and change things up. You’re the best and you have a dynamite personality. I find your balanced disposition so calming.

This was AMAZING. Thank you! My husband loved it so much he went back for a second piece the first day. He's had a piece every day since. I made it to create strawberry shortcakes after a trip to a local farm for strawberry picking here in Connecticut, but it is amazing all on its own.

Thank you for already converting everything to ml or grams 🥰 makes it so much easier

I just made the cake by following exact recipe. I only added some orange zest and it came out Delicious. Really easy to make and so much fun to make with the little one.

Just made a variation of this dairy-free for my husband with lemon and blueberries. He loves it! This recipe works very well with coconut butter instead of regular butter, and plain coconut yogurt instead of sour cream. Moist and delicious and not a hint of coconut. Thank you so much for these wonderful recipes! Much love from Minnesota 😊

Love this! I've made it twice this week since finding it. For me it makes two cakes per batch and leaving the batter in the fridge overnight made it richer. It's kind of like a (good) huge pancake with syrup the first day and more like cake the next. I was low on ingredients so used 3 eggs, a cup of 2% milk, and brown sugar and also mixed it with a fork because I don't trust my mixer but it turned out fantastic and is now my favorite cake to make. (Also, full disclosure: I always add pecans for the second one)

Loved this recipe! I made it a few times already. I added a peach and fig jam with orange vanilla flavor. Next level. The last time I added strawberry and rhubarb jam. Amazing!

[utoobr]

Such a lovely recipe! And I appreciate explanations of "room temperature" as it isn't always the same everywhere!

My 90 year old gather is nearly impossible to please. He LOVED this one because it is moist. Another winner!
