Buttermilk Pound Cake Recipe

Sift the flour, baking soda, and baking powder into a large mixing bowl. Stir in salt and
the sugar. I use a large spoon for this. Add the butter. Melting the butter in a pan over slow heat to makes it blend easier or just let the butter soften at room temperature. Add the eggs, whole and mix on slow. Slowly add buttermilk, and then the vanilla extract. After it is thoroughly stirred turn the mixer up to medium for a few minutes, and then finally on high. If the mixture is a little thick, add just a touch more buttermilk. If you don't mix things thoroughly you will have lumps that will form air bubbles in your mixture and leave holes in your finished cake.

Bake. Do Not Open Oven Door or Jar the Cake in any way.
Stick a wooden toothpick into one of the thickest parts of the cake.
If it's dry when you pull it our, the cake is done.

Allow the cake to cool 15 or 20 minutes in the pan.
Then gently remove it, and stick it on your favorite
decorative cake plate.
