Super Simple Pound Cake

Ingredients

2 cups regular flour
2 cups sugar
1 cup of butter or margarine (soften)
5 eggs
2 tsps flavoring (your choice)
(Vanilla is what I use most but it all works great)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350:F Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each one. Add flour, beat until smooth. Add flavoring. Bake in a greased and floured fluted or tube pan for 55 to 60 minutes. Cracks in top should be dry.
Cool for about 15 to 20 minutes on rack, remove from pan and let it continue to cool on rack.
If you flavored the cake with lemon zest you could make a lemon glaze and pour over the cake at this time.

I used this for my wine bottle carved cake and I'm about to use it again for a power ranger carved cake! Tastes great, super easy, and holds up well. Thank you!

What size pan do you use? I'm going to be making a basketball shoe, does this hold up well to carving?
