SHEET POUND CAKE
submitted by Susie Downing
1 cup flour, plus more for pan
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
21/2 ounces (5 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9X13 inch baking sheet with cooking spray, and line with parchment paper. Dust with flour, tapping out excess. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
Cream butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Reduce speed to medium, and beat in flour mixture in 2 additions, alternating with milk.
Spread batter into prepared sheet. Bake until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 15 to 17 minutes. Let cool in sheet on a wire rack.
