Ingredients: 3 cups all purpose flour ¼ teaspoon baking soda ½ teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup melted butter (2 butter sticks) 3 cups white sugar 6 egg 1 cup buttermilk Cream butter and sugar together until smooth(about 3-5 minutes) slowly add eggs 1 at a time add flavors add flour and milk (alternating ) starting with flour and ending with flour pour in greased tube pan Bake @350 Degrees for 1 hour 20 minutes. Check after 1 hour 10 minutes. Mine was ready at 1 hour . Insert a toothpick in the center of the cake and if the toothpick comes out with batter on it leave your cake in for the complete baking time. The toothpick must come out clean. Let cool in pan on wire rack for 20 mins. Then place on cake plate. Make sure to cover so cake won’t dry out. A tight-fit cake pan would be perfect. Enjoy Your Pound Cake.
