- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 6 large eggs (room temperature)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a tube pan to prevent sticking.
- Cream the butter and sugar together in a mixing bowl until light and pale yellow, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Gradually mix in the flour in 1/2 cup increments, stirring until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
Notes
Ensure the butter is softened adequately for proper creaming, and always use room temperature ingredients for the best results.
