Description

This white cake recipe is made with buttermilk, butter, eggs, and vanilla for a super moist pound cake with a wonderfully light crumb and texture.

Ingredients

3 cups white sugar
1 cup shortening
6 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 dash vanilla extract

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan.
2 Cream sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
3 Sift flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl. Add to shortening mixture; beat until combined. Beat in buttermilk and vanilla. Pour batter into the prepared Bundt pan.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Tap the pan firmly a few times, then shake it gently to loosen the cake. Place a wire rack over the pan and invert to release cake onto the rack to cool completely.
