How to Make Addie's Pound Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan (steeple pan).
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 5 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder three times.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup heavy whipping cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 100-110 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
