To begin making the Vanilla Pound Cake recipe, preheat your oven for 10 minutes at 170 degree C and line a loaf pan with parchment paper or butter.
First mix eggs, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Now with the help of a hand mixer or your electric mixer, combine all the dry ingredients so that they blend properly.
Add butter and half of the wet ingredients (egg, milk, vanilla mixture) in the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until all the ingredients are mixed properly.
Continue mixing untill you see the the batter getting light and airy. This will help in building structure of the cake.
Slowly add remaining wet ingredients and combine well. This should take about a minute or two.
Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon.
Bake in medium rack of your oven at 170 degrees C for about 40-45 minutes or till the cake is done.
Color of the cake will be golden brown and toothpick inserted in center of cake will come out clean, indicating cake is done
Once its done, let it cool on pan for about 10 minutes and then invert onto a wire rack.
