Old Fashioned Pound Cake - I spent some time researching "the float test" and didn't come up with too much. I'm guessing that you want air beat into the batter. When the batter floats, there's enough air in there to make your cake have the best texture. In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. It's old-fashioned and so, so good. It's called pound cake because originally, it was made with a pound of flour, a pound of butter, a pound of sugar, and a pound of eggs. Thank you and good luck
