Just-Married Pound Cake
- 1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) Blue Bonnet margarine, room temperature
- 1 1-pound box confectioners sugar, box reserved
- 6 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 pound sifted cake flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Preheat the oven to 300F.
- Grease and flour a 9-inch tube pan.
- Using a heavy-duty mixer, cream the margarine and sugar until the mixture is very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- One at a time, break the eggs into a small bowl, then add one at a time to the batter, beating only as long as it takes to break another egg into the small bowl between additions.
- Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl.
- Measure the sifted flour into the empty confectioners sugar box, filling it to the top.
- Add the flour to the sugar and egg mixture, stirring gently on low speed.
- Scrape the sides of the mixing bowl.
- Add the vanilla and mix again.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour, or until the center is set.
- Check for doneness by touching the surface lightly with your fingertip or by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
- Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then run a thin knife or spatula between the cake and the pan to loosen the edges and invert the cake onto a wire rack.
- I cant believe I made this cake!
