Vanilla Pound Cake

Vanilla Pound Cake

EverydaySweetened

Vanilla pound cake is a classic dessert defined by its rich, buttery flavor and dense, moist crumb structure achieved through equal ratios of butter, sugar, eggs, and flour. The addition of vanilla extract or beans provides its signature aromatic sweetness, while the high-fat batter creates a calorie-dense profile with notable saturated fat and refined carbohydrate content. Traditionally baked in loaf or bundt pans, this dessert is often portioned into thick slices that require mindful tracking due to concentrated energy density.
