This Fourth of July Pound Cake recipe is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. The rich, buttery flavor is a classic that all your guests will love. To make the perfect pound cake, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • Red and blue food coloring

You will also need a 10-inch tube pan, greased and floured, and a stand mixer.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F and make sure the rack is in the center of the oven. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In a stand mixer, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla and mix until combined.

On low speed, add the dry ingredients in three batches, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Divide the batter in half and color one half with red food coloring and the other half with blue food coloring. The colors should be fairly dark.

Spoon the batters alternating into the tube pan starting with red, then white, then blue, then white, etc. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
