Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a tube pan.
- Cream the butter and shortening together in a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, starting at the slowest setting and increasing to a medium speed after 3 or 4 minutes. Cream on this setting until done.
- Add the sugar a little at a time. Add the eggs, 1 egg at a time, mixing after each addition, until well incorporated.
- In a mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt, and mix with a wire whisk until thoroughly combined.
- Reduce the stand mixer setting to the lowest speed. Start adding a little of the dry ingredient mix followed by some milk. Alternate the dry ingredients and the milk ending with dry ingredients. Then add the vanilla extract.
- Pour the batter into the prepared tube pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the pound cake comes out clean, 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes.
- Remove the pound cake from the oven and let it cool down for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Gently flip tube pan over to remove the cake, and cool the pound cake on a wire rack. If the pound cake cools too long while still in the tube pan, it might break or not come out.
- Cool the cake for 30 minutes before dusting with confectioners' sugar. Serve the same day or lightly toasted the following day.
