With a short and sweet list of ingredients, our buttermilk pound cake recipe proves that the simple way is often the best way. As the recipe’s name suggests, the star of this cake is buttermilk. It helps create a swoonworthy crumb texture that’s moist, tender and light, wonderfully ready for a pile of sweetened fruit, for a drizzle of chocolate or as a sliced snack at any time.<\/p>\n

The pound cake part of the name derives from an original recipe that called for one pound each of butter, sugar, eggs and flour. While most modern pound cake recipes<\/a> no longer stick to that rule, this one features each of those ingredients, plus a few extras.<\/p>\n

The best part about buttermilk pound cake, besides its buttery texture and perfectly balanced flavor, is its crowd-pleasing capabilities and endless versatility.<\/p>\n
