Can you suggest a recipe for a pound cake?
Certainly! Here is a simple recipe for a classic pound cake: 

Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 
- 1/2 tsp baking powder 
- 1/2 tsp salt 
- 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature 
- 1 cup granulated sugar 
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature 
- 1 tsp vanilla extract 

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
2. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
3. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
5. Add the eggs to the creamed mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition.
6. Stir in the vanilla extract.
7. Gradually add the flour mixture, stirring until just combined.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
9. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
