    How to Make Better-Than-Classic Pound Cake

    1. Prepare Pan and Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), prepare a 6-cup loaf pan by coating it with nonstick spray and lining it with parchment paper.

    2. Mix Butter and Sugars

    In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, 1 cup of granulated sugar, turbinado sugar, and kosher salt.

    3. Add Eggs

    Add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture, incorporating them one at a time.

    4. Incorporate Sour Cream and Vanilla

    Whisk in the sour cream, vanilla extract, and vanilla bean paste if using.

    5. Add Dry Ingredients

    Sprinkle the baking powder over the mixture and whisk it in, then gently stir in the all-purpose flour just until combined.

    6. Prepare for Baking

    Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, tap to release air bubbles, smooth the top, and sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of granulated sugar.

    7. Bake and Cool

    Bake for 1 hour and 10 to 15 minutes, until a skewer comes out clean. Cool in the pan before lifting out with the parchment paper sling.
