A traditional pound cake that turns out especially fluffy and moist thanks to the six eggs. Perfect with a cup of coffee or as a sweet afternoon snack.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and grease a cake pan.
Beat the butter, sugar and vanilla sugar in a large bowl until creamy.
Gradually stir the eggs, one at a time, into the butter-sugar mixture.
Mix the flour, baking powder and salt and add alternately with the milk to the egg mixture.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes until golden brown.
After baking, let the cake cool before removing it from the pan.
💡 Adding a little lemon zest gives the cake a refreshing note.
