Addy's Pound Cake is a classic American dessert that originated in the 1700s. This recipe from the American Girl Collection is modeled after the traditional pound cake recipe that has been passed down for generations. The pound cake gets its name from the original recipe that called for a pound each of flour, sugar, eggs, and butter - hence the name 'pound' cake. This popular dessert has stood the test of time and is still enjoyed today with a variety of toppings like fresh berries, whipped cream, or even ice cream!

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease a 10-inch tube pan with shortening and flour.
2.	In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
3.	Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
4.	Stir in the vanilla extract.
5.	In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
6.	Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until well combined.
7.	Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8.	Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
