Honey Pound Cake

By cnash

The sweet, floral flavor of good honey makes this pound cake extra special.

Ingredients

• 1 cup(s) (2 sticks) butter, softened
• 1.333 cup(s) sugar
• 1/4 cup(s) honey
• 5 large eggs
• 2 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
• 1.75 cup(s) flour, sifted
• 1 teaspoon(s) baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly oil a 6-cup loaf pan.

Beat the butter, sugar, and honey together using a mixer set on high until very light and fluffy--about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Add the vanilla extract. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt and beat until smooth.

Spoon into the prepared pan and bake until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean--about 1 hour. Cool 15 minutes before unmolding
