PERFECT POUND CAKE
Our retooled pound cake recipe adjusts the traditional ingredient ratios (a pound of each ingredient), and adds baking powder and sour cream for a dense but fluffy loaf that's a sure-fire winner. Adding the baking powder while creaming the butter and sugar is a game-changing trick, it means it is fully distributed into the batter.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan; dust with flour, tapping out excess. Beat butter with sugar, baking powder, and salt on medium-high speed until very light and fluffy, about 6 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl, then beat 1 minute more. Scrape bowl again, then beat in vanilla.
- Add eggs, a bit at a time, beating well after each addition. Reduce speed to low and add half of flour, then sour cream, then remaining flour, beating until just combined after each addition. Remove bowl from mixer and use a spatula to get all the way down to bottom, stirring and folding to ensure all the butter is fully incorporated. (This will prevent butter streaks on the top of your cake.) Scrape batter into prepared pan.
- Transfer pan to oven, reduce temperature to 325°, and bake until top is golden and a tester inserted in center comes out clean, about 1 hour, 5 minutes. (Starting at a higher temperature, then dropping down gives the cake a jump-start before allowing it to bake nice and slowly, so it doesn't get too dark.)
- Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cool 1 hour, then invert cake onto rack, turn top-side up, and let cool completely. Slice to serve; or store, unsliced, in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days; or freeze, wrapped in plastic, up to 3 months (thaw to room temperature before serving).

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 10-inch Bundt pan or 2 8 x 5-inch (20 x 12 cm) loaf pans with nonstick spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
- In a large bowl, combine the butter, sugar, and salt. Beat with an electric hand mixer on medium speed for about 6 minutes, or until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula and beat again for 1-2 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
- With the mixer running on low speed, add the buttermilk and vanilla. Increase the mixer speed to high and beat for 30 seconds.
- Add ⅓ of the flour mixture and beat on medium speed until incorporated. Add ½ of the sour cream and beat until incorporated. Continue alternating additions of flour and sour cream, scraping down the sides of the bowl between each addition. Beat on medium speed after all of the flour is incorporated for about 1 minute, until the batter is well combined.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared Bundt pan or divide between the loaf pans and bake for about 60 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted to the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan(s) for 15-20 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack and unmold from the pan(s). Let cool completely.
- Slice and serve.
- Enjoy!
