Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 325°F (165°C). Generously grease and flour a Bundt or tube pan.
2. Mix the Cake Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, shortening, and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the creamed mixture, beginning and ending with the flour.
- Stir in vanilla extract until just combined.
3. Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into your prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
