Vanilla Pound Cake

There is something so perfect about a nice piece of cake with a cup of tea on a Saturday afternoon, wouldn't you agree?  Sometimes it's the simple things in life, so we decided to show you possibly one of the easiest cakes to make.....ever.  Here's how....

Vanilla Pound Cake 

Serves 8 | To prepare 15 mins | To cook 1 hour

Ingredients 

• 1 cup of unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for the pan.
• 2 cups of all-purpose flour (spooned and levelled, plus more for pan.
• 1 cup of sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract 
• 1/2 tsp salt

Method

• Preheat oven to 350F|180C 
• Butter and flour a 8 1/2 by 4 1/2 inch loaf pan. Set aside.
• Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. 
• Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition; add vanilla and salt. 
• With mixer on low, gradually add flour, beating just until combined (don't over beat) 
• Bake until a toothpick inserted in centre of cake comes out clean. About 1 hour.

How easy was that!?
