I made this wonderful Pound Cake yesterday. It is absolutely to die for.

I adapted this recipe from one I found on (yup, you guessed it!) BackyardChickens.com.

Old Fashioned Pound Cake

Grease/flour 10″ tube or bundt pan.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Combine together and sift (this creates “Self-Rising” flour): 

4 cups all purpose flour
6 teaspoons baking powder
4 teaspoons salt

OR

4 cups (1#) cake flour, sifted (this is what the original recipe calls for)

OR

4 cups minus 8 Tablespoons All Purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups (1#) butter (salted or unsalted either one, but use real butter)
2 cups (1#) sugar
10 whole eggs (1#)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract (or any other extract flavor of your choice)

Sift flour(ingredients to make the flour “self rising” as shown above) and salt. Place butter and sugar in LARGE mixing bowl. Cream together until light and fluffy. Add whole eggs, two at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Add half of the sifted flour/salt. Beat about 1 minute. Add remaining flour/salt and the flavorings. Beat about 1 minute. Pour into well greased/floured tube cake pan. Bake for 1 hour & 15 minutes to 1 hour & 30 minutes.  Remove cake IMMEDIATELY from pan after taking from the oven. Cool on a cake plate or cooling rack.
