This is the one cake Todd will eat. He is not a dessert eater and doesn't have a big sweet tooth, but he loves pound cake. We make it for him pretty often. It is usually his birthday cake! Bailey loves it too! Oh, and I can;t forget to mention that Scout absolutely loves this cake.
A few tricks to making this cake perfect. Make sure ALL ingredients are room temperature and don't pack your flour.
2 sticks butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
3 cups sugar
5 large eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
3 cups all purpose flour
1 cup evaporated milk
1 tsp vanilla flavoring
1 tsp almond flavoring
Cream butter and shortening. Add sugar, beat 5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each egg.
Mix dry ingredients together and ad to batter alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour. Mix well and add in flavorings.
Pour into a greased and floured tube or bunt pan. Drop cake pan on the counter a few times to make sure battle will settle.
Bake at 325 or 80 minutes. We usually take ours out at 70 minutes.
