The best Pound cake

Bake this cake in either a 10-inch tube pan or a 12-cup Bundt. Bundts tend to bake a little faster than tubes because of the extra surface area. So keep an eye on the clock and know your oven. Also know signs of doneness when baking pound cakes — the top needs to be firm to the touch and the cake begins to pull away from the sides of the pan. ................
