1 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a loaf pan.
2 Beat the sugar and the margarine in a stand mixer, on high, until light yellow and fluffy.
3 With the mixer running at a slow speed, add the eggs one at a time, waiting for each one to be incorporated before adding the next one.
4 Add the dry ingredients and mix on medium speed until the mixture is smooth.
5 Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 1 hour, or until a cake tester comes out dry.
6 Allow the cake to cool before slicing for the recipe.
To grill the pound cake: Slice the pound cake into 1” slices. Spread the margarine lightly on both sides. Place the slices onto the grill grate and cook until lightly toasted, about 2-4 minutes per side.
