ABOUT Classic Pound cake RECIPE

I knew my first 'egg bake' had to be this beauty. One can't miss those gorgeous air pockets or the lovely golden yellow colour of this soft, moist cake.

Ingredients Serving: 5

All purpose Flour- 1 and 1/2 cups
Powdered sugar -3/4 cup
Eggs[ medium] -3
Melted unsalted butter- 1/2 cup
Baking powder- 3/4 tsp
Salt- 1/4 tsp
Vanilla extract- 1 tsp
Milk - 3 and 1/2 tbsps

Instructions

Pre heat the oven at 180 degrees for 10 minutes.
Sift the flour, salt, baking powder and sugar together 3-4 times.
Beat the eggs, vanilla extract and milk together lightly.
Add the melted butter and beat well with a balloon whisk / hand mixer for 5 minutes.
Make a well in the centre of the sifted flour and pour the above mixture into it.
Gently combine until no lumps remain.
Spoon the cake batter into a greased and lined 8 inch round tin / a small loaf tin[ 7 inch by 3 inch]
Tap the tin on the kitchen counter to level the batter and remove large air bubbles.
Bake in the pre heated oven at 180 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until the top turns a lovely golden brown. Check if a skewer inserted comes out clean.
Invert over a wire rack after 5 minutes.
Allow to cool completely before slicing.
