Just-Married Pound Cake

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 300F.

2. 2

   Grease and flour a 9-inch tube pan.

3. 3

   Using a heavy-duty mixer, cream the margarine and sugar until the mixture is very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   One at a time, break the eggs into a small bowl, then add one at a time to the batter, beating only as long as it takes to break another egg into the small bowl between additions.

5. 5

   Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl.

6. 6

   Measure the sifted flour into the empty confectioners sugar box, filling it to the top.

7. 7

   Add the flour to the sugar and egg mixture, stirring gently on low speed.

8. 8

   Scrape the sides of the mixing bowl.

9. 9

   Add the vanilla and mix again.

10. 10

    Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour, or until the center is set.

11. 11

    Check for doneness by touching the surface lightly with your fingertip or by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.

12. 12

    Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then run a thin knife or spatula between the cake and the pan to loosen the edges and invert the cake onto a wire rack.
