How to Make Mary's One Step Pound Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt or tube pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add sugar and softened butter to the dry ingredients. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat on low speed until combined. Then increase the speed to medium and beat for 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by buttermilk and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, and the top springs back lightly when touched.
  6. Let the cake cool upright in the pan for 15 minutes. Then, carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Once completely cooled, drizzle with powdered sugar glaze (optional).
  8. **Powdered Sugar Glaze:** Whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar with 2-4 tablespoons milk or lemon juice until desired consistency is reached.
