- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup Hennessy cognac
- 2 cups Milk

Instructions
- Prepare a 10-inch (25-cm) tube pan by lining it with butter, dusting with flour, and preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Put the flour, salt, and baking powder in a medium bowl and mix well.
- Make a light and fluffy buttercream by mixing butter and sugar in a large bowl.

- The Hennessy cognac, milk, and vanilla extract should be added together and whipped until well combined.
- In a bowl, combine the wet ingredients and the dry ingredients gradually.
- Smooth the top of the batter with a spatula after pouring it into the prepared pan.
- After baking for one hour and thirty minutes, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake and make sure it comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes after it has been removed from the oven.
- Let the cake cool completely after inverting it onto a wire rack.
- In addition to the whipped cream, you may also serve the Hennessy pound cake with fresh berries.
Notes
- Use room-temperature butter and eggs for smoother mixing.
- Cream butter and sugar well for a lighter texture.
- Add dry ingredients gradually; avoid overmixing for a lighter cake.
- Ensure freshness of baking powder; check expiration dates.
- Always preheat the oven for even rising and proper texture.
- Grease and flour the Bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan before removing to maintain shape.
