This updated version of
the traditional “pound of
butter, pound of sugar, pound
of eggs, pound of flour” recipe
produces a pound cake that’s
soft and moist, yet still has the
classic’s buttery flavor and
springy texture.

of the broiler and intensity the stove to 350°F. Margarine a 12-cup Bundt skillet,
dust the skillet with flour, and tap out the abundance. In a little bowl, whisk
together the flour, baking powder, and salt until uniformly joined.
2. In a stand blender fitted with the oar connection, (or in an enormous
bowl, utilizing a hand-held blender), beat the margarine and the sugar at
medium speed until light and fleecy, around 2 minutes.
3. On low speed, beat in the yolks until smooth. Stop the blender and
scratch the bowl and the oar. With the blender running on mediumlow speed, add the entire eggs, each in turn, blending for at any rate
20 seconds after every expansion. Stop the blender and scratch the bowl
furthermore, paddle once more.

a blade through the hitter and tap the skillet against the counter to oust caught air. Heat until brilliant brown and a toothpick embedded in
the middle emerges with just soggy scraps gripping to it, 45 to
