Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic No-Fail Pound Cake.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give a 10-inch Bundt pan a good greasing and dusting with flour to ensure your cake releases beautifully.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, grab your electric mixer and cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is light, fluffy, and smells heavenly.

   Pour the luscious batter into your prepared Bundt pan, using a spatula to smooth the top for an even bake.
