My Pound Cake

This cake is absolutely delicious. Don’t over-mix. I even use cold ingredients. Batter looks like smooth whipped butter. This recipe was given to me by a co-worker. If you like it just call it your ‘My Pound Cake’.

My Pound Cake

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups butter
  • 3 cups white sugar
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon butternut flavored extract
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 cups cake flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch tube pan. Sift together the flour and baking powder. Set aside.

2 In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and butternut extract. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing just until incorporated. Pour batter into prepared pan.

3 Bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 80 minutes, 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.
