All southern women are brought up to be able to make several dishes. This is one of them. This is the same recipe that my Maw-Maw used. She served it plain with powdered sugar on top, with strawberries & homemade whipped cream. If you were lucky she would toast you a piece for breakfast, and you could have it with one of her homemade jam's or jellies. Ingredients:
1 cup butter |
1/2 cup butter flavor crisco or 1/2 cup any shortening |
3 cups sugar |
5 eggs |
3 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1 cup milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Grease & flour a 10 tube pan or bundt pan.
3. Sift dry Ingredients.
4. Cream butter & shortening together.
5. Add sugar a little at a time.
6. Cream until fluffy.
7. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition to fully incorporate the eggs into the batter.
8. Add dry ingredients and milk to mixture alternating; starting and ending with flour.
9. Mix in vanilla.
10. Pour into prepared pan.
11. Bake 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until it passes the toothpick test.
