Hi Trish! So we can best help you, why don't you give our King Arthur Flour's Original Pound Cake recipe a go. It calls for you to beat the butter (on its own) until it's light in color — basically white. Then you slowly add the sugar and the eggs while the mixer is on a lower speed, around 2 or 3. Once you've added the flour you want to mix until just combined to prevent any unnecessary gluten development. We hope you enjoy the recipe and that the finished texture is pleasing. Annabelle@KAF
