Sugar-Free Vanilla Pound Cake

Instrucciones

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment. A well-prepared pan is the secret to a clean release, dear.

2. 2

   Beat the butter and sugar substitute for 3–4 minutes, until pale and fluffy. Don’t rush this step—it gives the cake its lift.

3. 3

   Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla.

4. 4

   Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in three additions, alternating with the milk. Mix just until combined; overmixing makes pound cake heavy.

5. 5

   Spread the batter into the pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50–60 minutes, until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

6. 6

   Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely before slicing.
