A Betty Feezor Recipe
2 and 1/2 sticks butter at room
temperature
3 cups sugar
4 eggs at room temperature
3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons of vanilla (you
could also use almond or lemon flavoring and it turns out great)
Cream butter and sugar
together. Add eggs one at a time. Mix flour and baking
powder. Add vanilla or flavoring to milk. Add flour mixture and
milk mixture alternately. Pour into greased and floured tube pan.
Place in COLD oven. Turn heat to 325 degrees. Bake one and one half
to one and three quarter hours. Let stand in pan 10 minutes before
turning out. ( I have seen it recommended many times that your butter and
eggs should be at room temperature when baking a pound cake)
