I never have been a big fan of plain pound cake until I ate this one. It got its name from a lady that used to work with me. We used to request this for birthdays, holidays or just because we would like a pound cake. This is some melt-in-your-mouth goodness. Ingredients:
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
3 cups sugar |
1/2 cup crisco |
1 (5 ounce) can evaporated milk |
5 eggs |
1 cup margarine, softened |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 teaspoon lemon extract (i just like this) |
Directions:
1. Mix sugar, shortening and margarine together.
2. Add flour.
3. Put milk in 1 cup measuring cup and fill the remainder with water to make 1 cup; add slowly while mixing.
4. Add eggs one at a time.
5. When above is mixed well, add vanilla & lemon extracts.
6. Pour into greased & floured tube pan.
7. Cook at 300 degrees for 2 hours.
8. * Note: Prep time does not include time needed to soften butter.
9. * Note: Ovens vary; make sure the top is brown. If toothpick comes out clean when inserted, remove.
