Pound Cake

• 1 stick unsalted butter
• 1 cup Crisco
• 3 cups sugar
• 5 eggs
• 1-1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup milk
• 3 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder

 

Cream butter, shortening and sugar till fluffy.  Add eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla to milk.  Combine flour with baking powder.

Add liquids and flour mixtures alternately to butter/egg mixture in several batches, ending with milk.

Pour batter into prepared pan. Place pan in cold oven and set to 300F. Bake for 2 hours.

Note: this is versatile.  Try extracts other than vanilla, or add mini chocolate chips...and now that the dried berries are so easily found in most major U.S. cities, they're winners, too.
