Put the butter in the microwave for a few seconds until it is melted, with the consistency of a cream. Cream the butter until it is fluffy and add the sugar. Add the eggs one by one, beating well between each addition. Mix the flour with the baking powder. Add the flour to the egg mixture, alternating with the milk. Add the teaspoon of vanilla. Pour into a well-greased and floured rectangular mold. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 40-45 minutes. Insert a toothpick to check if the pound cake is ready (it should come out clean). Once it is cool, turn the pound cake onto a platter and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Tips

It is very important that the eggs are at room temperature. If you take them out of the refrigerator, you can place them in a container with warm (not boiling) water for a few minutes to bring them to room temperature.
