The Very Best Pound Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 cups sifted all-purpose flour (Sift flour into measuring cup to total 4 cups)
1 lb unsalted butter, softened (4 sticks)
10 large eggs
3 cups sugar

Preparation

Cream flour and butter together until smooth. I do this part in my stand mixer.
Beat eggs and sugar together until lemon colored and frothy, I do this part with my hand held mixer.
Add egg and sugar mixture to flour and butter mixture and mix until smooth and creamy.
Place batter into a greased and floured 10\" tube cake pan. Tap the bottom of the pan on a counter top a couple of times to get rid of any air bubbles.
Bake @ 300\u00b0 for 1 1/2 hours or until tests done with toothpick.
