2 cups butter, softened
3/4 cup milk
6 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Step 4 -Beat the mixture on low speed for 1 minute, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.

Step 5 -Beat the mixture at medium speed for 2 minutes.

Step 8 -Let the pound cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.

Step 9 -Transfer the pound cake from the pan to the wire rack and let it cool completely, about 1 hour.

Step 10 -Serve.
