How to Make Andrea S Pound Cake Recipe

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
  2. Sift together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted margarine and 8 ounces cream cheese until light and fluffy.
  4. Gradually add 3 cups granulated sugar, beating well after each addition.
  5. Beat in 4 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
