"ONE BOWL" PERFECT POUND CAKE
This is the perfect pound cake recipe...plus so easy to prepare and only one bowl to wash! This is a firm cake, so if you are into cutting and shaping cakes, this works well. I have used it for christening and communion cakes, creating crosses, etc and used buttercream frosting. I have also made it in a 9 x 13 cake pan...just adjust time accordingly. The addition of the yogurt really makes a difference in the taste.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 325, grease and flour a, ten-inch (16-cup) tube cake pan.
- 2. Layer ingredients in a 4-quart bowl of a heavy duty electric stand mixer in this order, flour, sugar, butter, eggs, milk, vanilla or flavorings you prefer.
- 3. Beat at low speed just until mixed, stopping to scrape down sides. Do not over mix. About three minutes from start to finish.
- 4. Pour into greased and floured, ten- inch (16-cup) tube pan and smooth on top. Bake at 325 for 1 hour and 30 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the ingredients combine more evenly and create a smoother batter.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will incorporate air into the batter and make the cake lighter.
- Add the eggs one at a time: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help the cake rise evenly.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
One-bowl pound cake is a classic recipe that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and moist pound cake that is perfect for any occasion.
