The Instruction of basic pound cake
- preheat oven to 170u00b0c measure all your ingredients
- beat butter in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until smooth add caster sugar and vanilla essence and beat until very pale almost white and creamy scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally to make sure the ingredients are evenly combined see note
- add eggs one at a time beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl frequently if the mixture starts to curdle stand the bowl in a sink of warm water stirring constantly with a wooden spoon so the butter doesnt melt for 15 30 seconds then continue beating
- sift together the flour and baking powder gently fold the flour mixture into the butter mixture with a spatula or large metal spoon until combined be careful not to over mix or the cake will develop a tough texture
- spoon the cake mixture into the loaf pan and smooth the surface with the back of a spoon smoothing the surface will help the cake rise more evenly
