Once the cake has cooled, you can drizzle it with a simple glaze if you prefer. A classic glaze can be made by mixing powdered sugar with a little milk or buttermilk until smooth.
Tips for Success:
Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure the butter, eggs, and buttermilk are at room temperature. This allows the ingredients to mix more evenly and ensures a smooth batter.
Don’t Overmix: As mentioned, mix the batter for no more than 4 minutes to prevent the cake from becoming dense.
Even Baking: To prevent uneven baking, make sure your oven rack is positioned in the center of the oven.
Storage:
Store the pound cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4-5 days.
If you want to keep it longer, you can freeze slices of pound cake in plastic wrap and foil for up to 3 months. When ready to serve, simply thaw at room temperature.
This Classic Pound Cake is a timeless treat that’s sure to impress. With its rich texture and simple flavors, it’s a dessert that everyone will love! Enjoy a slice on its own or with fresh berries, whipped cream, or your favorite glaze.
