Buttermilk Poundcake

• 2 sticks softened unsalted butter
• 1 3/4 cups vanilla sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• coarse sugar, for garnish

1. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 4-5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, scraping well after each addition.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt to combine. Add 1/3 of the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mix just until incorporated.
3. Add 1/3 of the buttermilk, mixing just until incorporated. Repeat until all of the dry and wet ingredients are added, scrape the bowl well.
4. Pour the batter into a greased, parchment lined loaf pan and top generously with coarse sugar. Bake in a 350 degree oven until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Cool 15 minutes in the pan before unmolding, then cool completely before serving.
