Homemade Pound Cake

Homemade Pound Cake RecipeMy family loves pound cake.  I mean they really go mad for it.  This is one item I had been in the habit of purchasing rather than making.  However, as I was readying my menu on New Years Day (Yes, I’m that far behind.) I realized I had forgotten to pick up a pound cake for our fondue party.  Some of the dippers for chocolate fondue are negotiable, but NOT the pound cake.  I would have hand a mutiny on my hands!  So I quickly whipped one up and threw (uh I mean gently placed in a quick manner.  har har) it in the oven to bake while I prepared the rest of the food. 

Ingredients:
1 cup butter (the real thing) softened
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt

Pound Cake RecipeBeat butter and sugar on high until it is light and fluffy.  Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each one. 

Best homemade pound cakeMix in the vanilla and salt. Add flour and mix just until moistened.
Bake homemade Pound CakePlace the cake batter in a well buttered and floured 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan and bake in a 350 degree preheated oven for about 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.  Let cake cool 10 -15 minutes and then remove the cake from the pan and cool on a wire rack. 
Fondue and Pound CakeSlice (or in this case cube) and enjoy!  I absolutely loved this cake.  I thought it was so much better than prepurchased because I loved the crunchy outsides.  One of my daughters, however, objected.  It’s s super simple fix.  Just place the cooled cake in a sealed plastic bag or container.  In a few hours or over night the outsides become soft, just like store bought.  Ha!

    I am kind of nervous to try this recipe. How does this cake work without any baking powder or baking soda?

        I think you forgot to tell everyone when to put the flour in
