Description
This Slap Ya Momma Pound Cake is a rich, buttery Southern classic that’s golden on the outside, tender on the inside, and perfect for serving plain or with fruit, whipped cream, or glaze.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan or tube pan.

- Gradually add dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with milk.
- Stir in vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes
- Add lemon zest or almond extract for a flavor twist.
