- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or tube pan.
2. Cream the fats
In a large bowl, beat together:

4. Combine dry ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk:
- flour
- salt
- baking powder
5. Add flour + milk alternately
Starting with flour and ending with flour:

- Add ½ of the milk
- Add another ⅓ of the flour
- Add remaining milk
- Finish with flour
Mix gently — don’t overbeat.
