Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.

Beat butter in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Add oil; beat until creamy. Pour in sugar and beat until thoroughly incorporated, pausing to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
