Ingredients
- 3 cups sugar
- 1 1/2 cups shortening
- 7 eggs
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 t. salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 t. vanilla
- 1 t. almond flavoring
- 1/2 t. butter flavoring
Instructions
- Cream together shortening and sugar. Add eggs one at a time. Add flour alternately with milk, starting and ending with flour. Vanilla goes in last. Bake at 325 until it tests done. 1 1/2 hours.
- This pound cake takes a while to bake because it is quite dense. I have found that a 11X15 pan holds two runs of this batter and bakes in 1 hr 20 min.
