BEST POUND CAKE IN THE WORLD RECIPE

Steps:

• DO NOT PRE-HEAT OVEN. CAKE IS TO BE STARTED IN A COLD OVEN. Grease and flour a Bundt pan, or a tube pan. Cream butter and cream cheese together, and mix until smooth. Gradually add sugar to the butter mixture, continue beating until smooth and creamy. Add flour, a little bit at a time, until mixture is well blended. Crack eggs, one at a time, in separate bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, to the cake mixture. IMPORTANT: Make sure each egg is well blended into the mixture before adding the next egg. Add extract, and blend until well mixed. Pour batter into prepared pan, and place into oven. Set oven to 325, and bake for approximately 90 minutes, or until an inserted knife comes out clean. Allow cake to cool for about 10 minutes before inverting pan. Allow cake to cool completely before topping.

BEST POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter two 9-by-5-inch loaf pans; dust with flour, tapping out excess. In a bowl, whisk together flour and salt. (If making the lighter version, add baking powder at same time as salt.)
• With an electric mixer on high speed, beat butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, about 8 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl. Reduce speed to medium; beat in vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each and scraping down sides of bowl. Reduce speed to low; add flour mixture in 2 batches (alternating with sour cream if making the lighter version), beating until just incorporated.
• Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Tap pans on counter; smooth tops with an offset spatula. Bake until a cake tester inserted into center of each cake comes out clean, about 70-75 minutes. Transfer pans to a wire rack to cool 30 minutes. Turn out cakes onto rack to cool completely.
