Grandma Kathy's Pound Cake

Dessert
Servings: 1 bundt

Ingredients

  • 2 sticks Unsalted butter
  • 2 cups Sugar
  • 2 cups AP flour
  • 5 Eggs - large
  • 3/4 Tbsp Flavoring - almond, vanilla, lemon, pistachio, etc
  • Food coloring - optional
  • Powdered sugar - for dusting

Instructions

  • In a stand mixer with a beater attachment, cream butter and sugar.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients.
  • Stir on low (1) to get flour mixed in, then beat on medium (4) for 3 minutes.
  • Grease bundt pan. Preheat oven to 325F.
  • Pour batter into pan and smooth top with a spatula.
  • Bake 50 minutes.
  • Rest 5 minutes in pan, then remove to cooling rack.
  • When completely cool, dust with powdered sugar.

Notes

  • Stores well in a cake display at room temperature for one week.
  • Kathy's favorite was almond, and the original recipe calls for 1 Tbsp flavoring. I found this to be too strong, as almond can be easy to overuse.
