Chris' Notes:

This is one of my best pound cake recipes...it came attached to either a Wilton bundt or fluted cake pan YEARS ago...it is EASY,rich,dense and moist.

Directions

Preheat oven to 325* and grease and flour pan(bundt or fluted). I am told it makes 2 nice loaf cakes as well.

ALL ingredients should be at room temperature.

Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs,one at a time, mixing well after each one.

Sift 3 cups of flour with baking powder and salt.

Starting with flour mixture,add alternately flour mixture and milk.

Mix in extract(s).

Pour into prepared pan. Bake for about 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes and then turn out on rack to cool. If glazing let the cake cool completely first.

I made this cake today and I needed to cook it for one hour and 15 minutes...so make sure you test with a toothpick :o)
