Ingredients

Scale

For the Pound Cake:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 ¾ cups granulated sugar
6 large eggs
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 cup whole milk
½ cup sour cream

For the Vanilla Glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar
4 tbsp heavy cream (or milk, adjust for consistency)
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in vanilla extract.
Alternate adding flour mixture and milk + sour cream, starting and ending with flour.
Pour batter into the prepared Bundt pan.
Bake for 75-85 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.

Notes

Make sure the butter, eggs, and milk are at room temperature to ensure smooth batter incorporation.
Don’t overmix the batter to maintain a light, tender crumb.
You can experiment with other flavors like almond extract or lemon zest in the glaze.
The cake stays moist for several days, making it great for make-ahead or leftovers.
For a unique twist, serve with fresh berries or a scoop of ice cream.
