Meme’s Pound Cake

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter (2 sticks), at room temperature
  
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
  
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
  
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  
• 1 cup milk, at room temperature
  
• 5 large eggs, at room temperature
  
• 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  
• ½ cup margarine, at room temperature
  
• 3 cups sugar
  

Direction

1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Spray a 16-cup bundt pan with cooking spray and set aside. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In a large glass liquid measuring cup, combine the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
   
2. In the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, margarine and sugar on medium speed until fluffy. Add the flour and milk mixtures to the butter mixture in 3 batches, starting with the dry ingredients and ending with the wet ingredients. Make sure this mixture is well combined, but do not over beat. While beating, occasionally scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Pour into the prepared bundt pan.
   
3. Bake for 15 minutes at 300 degrees. Raise the oven temperature to 325 degrees and bake an additional 45 to 55 minutes, or until the top of the cake is gold brown. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes, while cake remains in bundt pan. Then invert cake onto rack to cool completely. Store for one week in an airtight container. Yields one 10-inch cake.
