PIN IT NOW TO SAVE FOR LATER

My cousin, Jack, made this cake and posted the pic on Instagram a few weeks ago. I shared the photo and got lots of comments from people asking for the recipe. Jack was so sweet to share his granny's special recipe and now I'm sharing it with you.

Pound cake gets its name from having a pound of each ingredient like a pound of butter, pound of sugar, pound of flour and so on. It seems that the recipe has changed over the years but it is still just as good. This recipe doesn't have a pound of each ingredient but is completely delicious!

How to Make Pound Cake

Mix margarine, butter, and cream cheese together until fluffy.

Add sugar gradually.  Then add eggs, one at a time.

Slowly add flour & vanilla.

Bake in greased, flour Bundt pan for 2 hrs or more at 275. Test cake to see if done .

Out of oven, let it rest at least 15 minutes. Then remove from pan.

Pro Tips for Making the Perfect Pound Cake

2) Do not overbeat the cake batter.

2) Start in cold oven.

3) Put a little pan of water under your cake when it is baking to keep moist.
