1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

3
Cream Butter and Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
4
Add Eggs and Vanilla
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
5
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

6
Pour into Pan
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
7
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8
Cool
Once baked, allow the pound cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
