Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter two 9-by-5-inch loaf pans; dust with flour, tapping out excess. In a bowl, whisk together flour and salt. (If making the lighter version, add baking powder at same time as salt.)
- With an electric mixer on high speed, beat butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, about 8 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl. Reduce speed to medium; beat in vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each and scraping down sides of bowl. Reduce speed to low; add flour mixture in 2 batches (alternating with sour cream if making the lighter version), beating until just incorporated.
- Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Tap pans on counter; smooth tops with an offset spatula. Bake until a cake tester inserted into center of each cake comes out clean, about 70-75 minutes. Transfer pans to a wire rack to cool 30 minutes. Turn out cakes onto rack to cool completely.
THE VERY BEST POUND CAKE
I found this recipe in a church cookbook around 15 years ago and have been making it since. I never even thought about trying another pound cake recipe because I just don't think it gets any better than this. Make sure that you sift the flour into a measuring cup to total 4 cups. In other words; sift before measuring. I really don't know how much difference it would make but that's the way the recipe was written. And it is all purpose flour. The recipe in the cookbook didn't state what kind of flour so the first time I made it I used self rising. It rose beautifully and looked so pretty. For about a minute and a half. It fairly quickly deflated into a not so pretty mess.

- Basic Vanilla Pound Cake. For the best basic pound cake, start with all of your ingredients at room temperature, and follow the directions to the letter.
- Sour Cream Pound Cake. Tangy sour cream gives this pound cake a nice richness, and a sweet vanilla glaze contrasts nicely with the cake. Beaten egg whites keep the batter from getting too leaden, but don't overbeat the batter, or you'll deflate the air bubbles.
- Lemon Lavender Pound Cake. For a delicate, floral cake, try this one that uses fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and dried lavender flowers for its unique flavor.
- Sweet Potato Pound Cake. Mashed sweet potato adds an earthy sweetness to this autumnal pound cake that makes a great alternative to pumpkin or sweet potato pie.
- Chocolate Pound Cake. Dutch-Process cocoa gives this simple chocolate pound cake a deep brown color and lots of chocolatey flavor. It bakes up in a tube or bundt pan, so it travels well.
- Pineapple Pound Cake. With crushed pineapple and juice in the batter and more crushed fruit in the topping, this pound cake brings tons of tropical flavor.
- Pumpkin Pound Cake with Maple Pecan Glaze. Add this pumpkin pound cake to your holiday dessert rotation, or whip it up anytime you want an easy dessert that tastes and looks like a special occasion.
- Peach Cobbler Pound Cake. When you can't decide between peach cobbler and pound cake, solve that problem with this hybrid treat. Stew fresh peaches into a flavor-packed chunky paste that imbues it with the taste of Southern summer then decorate the top with fresh slices for a pretty presentation.
- Lemony Pound Cake. Brushing this super citrus-forward lemon pound cake with a fresh lemon and sugar sauce while it's still warm gives it a moist, lemon grove sweetness.
- Chocolate Pumpkin Pound Cake. Chocolate and pumpkin may sound like an unlikely combination, but the squash gives this pound cake a moist texture and earthy richness without adding a ton of flavor itself.
