    How to Make Old-Fashioned Pound Cake<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

    Step 1: Preheat the Oven<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

    Preheat your oven to 325\u00b0F (163\u00b0C)<\/strong>. Grease a 16-cup tube pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.<\/p>\n

    In a stand mixer bowl, add the ingredients in this order:
    cake flour, baking powder, sugar, butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract.<\/p>\n

    Mix on low speed for 2 minutes<\/strong>. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is well incorporated.<\/p>\n

    Increase to medium speed and mix for another 2 minutes<\/strong>.
    \u26a0\ufe0f Do not mix for more than 4 minutes total to avoid a dense cake.<\/p>\n

    Step 3: Bake the Cake<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

    Pour the batter into the prepared tube pan and smooth the top.<\/p>\n

    Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes<\/strong>, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.<\/p>\n

    Step 4: Cool<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

    Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for about 30 minutes<\/strong>, then carefully remove and cool completely.<\/p>\n
