| This recipe was a combined effort by my aunt and grandmother and handed down to me. It is easy and very versitle. It makes a firm cake that is great for carving, layering, or just for single layers. It is not recommended that you double this recipe. | |

| 1.5 cups shortening
3 cups sugar 7 eggs 3 cups all purpose flour 1 cup milk 2 tsp. vanilla | |

| 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.
This pound cake takes a while to bake because it is quite dense. I have found that an 11X15 pan holds two runs of this batter and bakes in 1 hr 20 min. You can alter the flavor by simply substituting some or all of the vanilla flavoring with the flavor of your choice. | |
