AUNT MINNE LEE'S POUND CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Do NOT preheat your oven.
• 2. Cream butter and shortening together in a large mixing bowl until well blended. Add sugar, lemon and vanilla extracts.
• 3. In a medium bowl, sift and measure 2 cups of flour. Sift and measure twice more. Gradually add four into the creamed butter/sugar mixture.
• 4. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing at medium speed and being careful not to over beat.
• 5. Pour the mixture into a prepared bundt pan that has been sprayed with cooking oil.
• 6. Place the bundt pan in a COLD oven and bake at 275 degrees for 1 hour or a tooth pick comes out clean.
• 7. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely in pan. Turn out onto a cake plate. Glaze if you like, but I am a plain pound cake gal. Enjoy!
