My family has a tasty pound cake recipe, but each time I make it, it falls and develops these dense streaks. I always thought that it was not baked but was baffled since the toothpick test passed and it had the perfect crust and taste. How would you recommend that I approach the following recipe (ex. Kitchenaid mixer speeds, order, etc)? I want to get it right and will even mix the flour in by hand for 30 minutes if I have to! 1.5 sticks of butter 3/4 c shortening 6 eggs 1.5 tsp vanilla 3/4 cup milk 3 c flour 3 tsp baking powder Pinch salt Mix all ingredients together for 30 minutes. Grease and sugar coat a large loaf pan (it is huge!) and bake for 1 hr 15 minutes at 350. Cool. Thank you!
