Cake

 

We finished with our family favorite pound cake and then Olivia had to do some homework.  Not as much fun as presents but a necessary part of a twenty-year-old life.

 

Here’s the pound cake recipe for an easy but delicious dessert

Pound cake

3 cups sugar

1 stick butter

1/2 cup shortening

6 eggs

3 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 point whipping cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a Bundt pan. In a mixing bowl, cream sugar, butter and shortening.  Beat in eggs. Add flour, whipping cream, and vanilla extract.  Bake for 1 and 1/2 hours.  Cool 10 minutes in pan.  Invert on wire rack and remove cake from pan.  Cool completely.
