- 6 Large eggs
- 1/2 cup Hennessy cognac

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 10-inch (25-cm) tube pan with butter and lightly dust it with flour. Set it aside.

- Add the eggs one by one, ensuring thorough mixing after each addition.
- Incorporate the Hennessy cognac, milk, and vanilla extract into the mixture. Stir until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients from step 2 to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake emerges clean.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool inside the pan for 10 minutes.
- Carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely.
- To serve, enjoy the Hennessy pound cake as is or with whipped cream or fresh berries, if desired.
- Relish your delightful Hennessy pound cake!
Notes
- Better Hennessy means better flavour.
- After baking, add more Hennessy on top for more flavour.
- Be gentle when mixing so the cake stays soft.
