Better than Pound Cake

This is so good, but it's good that we only have it once a year (my husband's birthday) because it isn't exactly healthy...maybe that is why it's called pound cake.

1 cup butter-softened
1/2 cup margarine-softened
3 cup sugar
5 eggs-room temp
3 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup milk-room temp
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
3 Tbl brown sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
  • Cream butters-gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy
  • Add eggs one at a time.
  • Combine flour and baking powder. Add to creamed mixture alternately with milk.
  • Stir in vanilla.
  • Pour half of the batter into greased 10" tube pan (or 2 9x5 loaf pans). Add layer of brown sugar/cinnamon (This is what makes it better than pound cake!). Add the rest of batter on top.
  • Bake @ 350* for 1 hour 15 minutes until toothpick comes out clean
