Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Generously grease a large (10-inch) Bundt pan with butter and set aside.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter, sugar and vegetable shortening until light and fluffy. In a large liquid measuring cup, combine the milk, vanilla, eggs and almond extract if using. Stir to combine. Add the flour mixture and milk mixture to the butter mixture, alternating between the dry and wet ingredients in three parts, starting and ending with the dry. Fill the prepared pan with the batter.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 325 degrees F and bake until the cake is warm golden brown and pulls away from the sides of the pan, or a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, an additional 45 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool for 10 minutes. Invert the cake onto a rack to cool completely, at least 20 minutes.
VIRGINIA POUND CAKE
Rich and velvety, this cake contributed as much toward making Virginia famous as Brunswick stew. Since pound cake uses no baking powder and depends entirely upon eggs and air for leavening, its success depends upon the length of time it is beaten. If beaten by hand, an hour is not too long. Use an electric beater if possible. From the Southern chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947.

HOW TO MAKE THE ULTIMATE POUND CAKE | KING ARTHUR BAKING
From kingarthurbaking.com
- Use room-temperature ingredients. A cardinal rule of cake baking is to begin with room-temperature ingredients (unless otherwise called for in the recipe).
- Measure your flour properly. When it comes to pound cake, it’s all about ratios of ingredients. After all, pound cake got its name because early versions were made by using a pound each of flour, eggs, sugar, and butter (or another fat).
- Use the right pan (both in size and material) Don’t just grab the first pan you see in your pantry and pour in your pound cake batter. This is another moment for careful choices.
- Don’t overbake. Once the pound cake is in the oven, take a deep breath but don’t go too far away! The last thing you want is to forget about your cake and let it become toasted and dry.
- Use a cake soak. If the idea of soaking a cake is new to you, buckle up for a whole new baking adventure! Cake soaks or soaking syrups are flavorful liquids, usually simple-syrup based, that are brushed onto cake after it comes out of the oven.
