How to Make Pound Cake

You will be surprised at how easy this cake is to whip up. You’ll definitely need a good bundt pan- don’t forget to grease and flour it! This will help the cake to pop out perfectly clean after its baked. There is nothing worse than a cake that gets stuck in the pan, am I right?

After mixing all the ingredients and adding it to the bundt pan, put it in a 325 degree oven. Take another baking dish, fill it with 2 cups of water, and set it next to the cake in the oven while it bakes. This will help the pound cake have that nice moist texture. No dry cakes here! Bake at 325  for 1 hour and 30 minutes until it’s baked through.

Let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into it. This is the hardest part- waiting for it to cool and not being able to dig in right away! But don’t worry, it’s worth the wait.
