Confectioners Sugar Pound Cake

This recipe uses simple ingredients that are pantry staples. Originally, pound cake was made from a pound of each of the four main ingredients: flour, sugar, butter, and eggs. The proportions have changed over time, but those four ingredients form the basis of this cake. Pound cake is a classic cake that is so easy to make. The only flaw with the recipe is that it bakes in the oven for 90 minutes. This cake is delicious and well worth the wait.

This recipe uses confectioners sugar instead of granulated sugar, which makes a slightly denser cake. Otherwise, the ingredients used are standard for pound cake. When I made this cake, I dusted it with sugar rather than frosting. But I think this cake would be excellent with chocolate frosting.

Confectioners Sugar Pound Cake 

• 1 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 pound confectioners sugar
• 6 eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 2 1/2 cup flour

Beat the butter until creamy. Gradually beat in the sugar, beating well after each addition until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Beat in the vanilla. Gradually stir in the flour, blending until flour is incorporated (do not over beat). Pour into a greased bundt pan. Bake at 300 for 1 1/2 hours. Allow to cool. Enjoy!
