Classic Pound Cake

Category: Cakes

1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter,
softened plus more for pan
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla
6 large eggs
confectioners sugar, for dusting

Preheat oven to 350. Butter 1 9x5-inch loaf pan; set aside. Whisk flour and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
Put butter, granulated sugar and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium-low speed until pale and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add egs, one at a time, beating until combined after each addition. Reduce speed to low; mix in flour mixture until just combined.
Spoon batter into prepared pan, and smooth with an offset spatula. Bake, rotating pan halfway through until cake is golden and a cake tester inserted into center comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack 10-15 minutes. Turn out onto rack, and let cool completely. Before serving, dust cake with confestioners sugar, if desired. Cake can be stored at room temp for up to 3 days, wrapped well in plastic wrap.
