Per these instructions. Does this mean the flour is not sifted?

Hi Roz,

A pound cake has a dense texture by nature. Sifting the flour will make it a bit lighter but if you're in a hurry the difference should not be that noticeable, but feel free to sift if you like. I often just whisk the dry ingredients with the wire whip of my mixer depending on what I'm baking.

If you sift before measuring, you will be using less flour, so if you do sift the flour with the dry ingredients, sift after measuring.

I always adjust my baking for proper consistency rather than by using exact measurements. A pound cake should have the consistency of thick ribbons when dropped from your beater held about 6 inches above the bowl after being beaten.
