Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a 900g loaf tin with parchment paper (mine was 19cm x 9cm x 6cm). Put all of the ingredients except those for the icing into a large bowl and beat together, either using an electric hand whisk or a wooden spoon until smooth and combined. Pour the mix into the loaf tin and spread evenly with the back of spoon. Bake for 40 - 45 mins.
- Once out of the oven, leave to cool and make the icing. Combine the icing sugar and vanilla paste with three tbsp of water - you may need more but add it gradually to get a thick icing. Spread it over the top of the cake; it's fine if it drips down the edges. Allow to set and then slice.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 12-cup fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
- Place sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl. Cream together using an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or a hand mixer, on medium speed, until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating for 45 seconds after each addition. Add vanilla extract and beat for 30 seconds.
- Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Add 1/2 of the dry ingredients to the butter and egg mixture, mixing on low speed, until just blended. Add 1/2 cup milk and beat on low speed until just blended. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula between each addition. Repeat with remaining dry ingredients and milk.
- Pour batter into the prepared baking pan, filling no more than 2/3 full. Smooth the top with a spoon or a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake is just starting to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 1 hour and 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 15 minutes before inverting onto a plate. Allow to cool completely before serving.

Estimated Reading Time 4 mins
- 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.
