How To Make A Pound Cake

It's very Easy! My Granny was a great cook. Every time she'd cook she would 'put her foot in it'. Meaning she cooked very well. So I'm going to share this pound cake recipe with you! I hope you like it.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

One Pound of softened real Butter.
One and a half Cups of Sugar
Two Cups of All Purpose Flour
Six Eggs
One Teaspoon of Vanilla
A Bundt Cake Pan
Mixing Bowl
Large Spoon or Mixer
Large Plate
Love

Step 1

Set oven to 375.
Step 2

In the Mixing Bowl add all of the Butter, Flour, Sugar and then stir with your spoon or start mixing it in your mixer.
Step 3

Next add the vanilla. Stir until kind of smooth.
Step 4

Now add the eggs one or two at a time. Crack them open in a cup. Then add to the batter so that there won't be any egg-shells in your cake. Then stir until batter is smooth. Repeat this until you've used up all seven eggs. Batter should be smooth and mixed well at this point.
Step 5

Now take your Bundt Cake Pan and grease it all over the inside with a thin layer of soft butter. Use your hands as if you were massaging the cake pan. Now pour some flour in the cake pan to cover the butter. Do not touch the flour! Just shake it around so that the flour covers the butter. Shake all the excess flour out of the pan. This step is necessary so that the cake won't stick to the pan.
Step 6

Cook your cake on the middle rack of your oven at 375 degrees. It should take 45 minutes to an hour.
