Real Pound Cake

Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease and flour two 8 x 4-inch loaf pans. [Lining is easier] Set aside.
Beat butter at medium speed for 2 minutes or until soft and creamy. Increase speed to medium: gradually add sugar, beating for 5 to 7 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well. Add vanilla.
In a separate bowl, sift flour, baking powder and baking soda. Using a large metal spoon, mix dry ingredients to creamed mixture.
Pour into prepared pans and bake for 30-40 minutes. Remove to stand 10 to 15 minutes; remove from pan to cool.
