Sweet Corn Buttermilk Pound Cake

First, prepare a standard size bundt pan. Wipe it down with shortening and add flour to coat pan. Set pan aside. Preheat oven to 350 F.

Into a medium-sized bowl sift together flour, cornmeal, salt and baking soda. Set aside.

In a large bowl using an electric mixer, cream together room temperature butter, shortening and sugar. Then add one egg at a time mixing well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.

Add half of the dry ingredient mixture into the butter, sugar and eggs. Mix well then add the buttermilk. Mix well. Now add the rest of the dry mix and mix to combine. Make sure to scrape the sides of the bowl to make sure everything is incorporated.

Pour batter into the bundt pan, smooth the top and bake for about 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
