I have created all sorts of variations on pound cake like my Million Dollar Pound Cake which includes (among other things) buttermilk to tenderize the crumb, and of course my Kentucky Butter Cake which is a MUST make!. But today we're talking about traditional. Add in large eggs one at a time - beat well. Add in flour gradually and beat well. This recipe make a lot of cake batter so use an extra large bundt pan or divide it up when baking or it will spill over!
