Years ago, while pastoring a church in New Mexico, I worked in a nursing home. For a Christmas party, I baked this pound cake. Everyone raved over the treats my wife made. When I told them I'd made them myself, they were astonished.Douglas Jennings, Ottawa, Kansas Ingredients:
2/3 cup butter-flavored shortening |
1-1/4 cups sugar |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1 teaspoon lemon extract |
2/3 cup milk |
2-1/4 cups cake flour |
1-1/4 teaspoons salt |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
3 eggs |
confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in lemon juice and extract. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda; add to the creamed mixture alternately with milk. Beat just until combined.
2. Pour into a greased and floured 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pan. Bake at 350° for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
3. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Yield: 1 loaf.
