Recipe Summary Grandmother's Pound Cake Ii

Ingredients | Pound Cake Recipe Ingredients

2 cups butter

3 cups white sugar

6 eggs

4 cups all-purpose flour

⅔ cup milk

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 3 - 8x4 inch loaf pans, then line with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Beat in the flour alternately with the milk, mixing just until incorporated.

Pour batter evenly into prepared loaf pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. After removing them from the oven, immediately loosen cake edges with a knife. Allow to cool in pans for 10 minutes, then remove from the pans. Strip off the parchment paper and cool completely on wire racks.

The magazine version of this recipe bakes two 9x5-inch loaves at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour.
