Einkorn Pound Cake

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9 × 5½-inch loaf pan. (If you can find an 8½ x 4½-inch, that’s even better.)
2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
3. In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar for a full 8 minutes until pale yellow and fluffy, stopping a few times to scrape down the sides.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix on medium speed until well combined and creamy.
5. Reduce the speed to low and mix half of the flour mixture into the egg mixture. Add the buttermilk and then the remaining flour mixture until everything is just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with an offset spatula.
6. Bake for 20 minutes uncovered, then loosely cover the loaf with a 10-inch piece of aluminum foil, folded in half, and shaped into a tent to prevent it from sticking to the top of the cake. The foil will prevent the cake from browning too quickly. Bake for 25 minutes more, until a toothpick inserted into the center, comes out clean.
7. Cool the cake in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes. Invert the cake and place on a rack to cool completely before serving.
