Cinnamon Pound Cake

Mom's recipe box is filled with many cake recipes. Recently, I have been looking through them for easy cakes to make on a weekend and enjoy throughout the week. I found this one to fit the bill. The resulting cake was a bit lighter than most pound cakes, but delicious nonetheless.

This recipe calls for ingredients that you probably have around the house, which makes it easy to make even if you haven't planned on making a cake. The recipe calls for a tube pan, but I used a bundt pan. You can use just about any size pan, but just adjust the baking time as needed.

Cinnamon Pound Cake 

• 1 cup butter
• 2 cups sugar
• 4 eggs
• 3 cups flour
• 1 Tbsp. baking powder
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Cream butter and 2 cups sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Sift together flour and baking powder; add to creamed mix alternating with the milk. Grease a 10-inch tube pan. Pour half the batter into the pan. Mix together the 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon. Cover batter with the cinnamon sugar. Cover with the remaining batter. Bake at 350 for one hour. Allow to fully cool in the pan. Enjoy!
