Description

Ingredients

• 1 pound (2 cups) butter, no substitutes
• 3 and ½ cup granulated sugar
• 10 large eggs
• 4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

• Allow butter and eggs to come to room temperature.
• Grease and flour a tube or bundt pan. You may need to line the sides of the tube pan with waxed paper so that is above the top of the pan 2 to 3 inches. This is a very tall cake.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Cream 2 cups butter until soft and there are no lumps.
• Add 3 and ½ cups granulated sugar and cream until light and fluffy.
• Add one at a time 10 large eggs, beating 1 minute after each addition.
• Lower speed on mixer to low and slowly add 4 cups sifted all-purpose flour.
• Add vanilla and mix in completely.
• Spoon batter into prepared tube or bundt pan. (If using a bundt pan, make sure its large enough for batter to double in size.)
• Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour and 25 to 30 minutes.
• *PLEASE NOTE - COOKING TIMES VARY DEPENDING ON IF YOUR OVEN IS CALIBRATED AND IF YOU USE A LIGHT OR DARK PAN. TEST THE CAKE BEFORE THE RECOMMENDED TIME. IF THE CAKE IS TOO DRY, YOU BAKED IT TOO LONG.
• Test for doneness with a wooden pick. Insert pick in center of cake, if pick comes out clean or with dry crumbs, it is done.
• Remove cake and allow to cool on a wire rack 30 minutes before inverting onto a serving platter.
