Aunt Johnnie's Pound Cake
12 servings
Ingredients
½ cup shortening
1 cup butter
2 ½ cups white sugar
5 eggs
2 teaspoons almond extract
1 cup milk
½ teaspoon baking powder
3 cups cake flour
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Lightly grease and flour a 10 inch Bundt pan.
Step 2
Cream shortening, butter and sugar until light and fluffy (for best results use an electric mixer). This will take a while. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in almond extract.
Step 3
Combine baking powder and flour. Stir into creamed mixture alternately with the milk, starting and ending with flour. Pour batter into prepared pan.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
