2 sticks Land of Lakes butter
1/2 cup plain Crisco
3 cups sugar
3 cups plain Red Band flour, sifted
6 large eggs
3/4 tsp. baking powder
1 cup buttermilk (fat free)
1/2 tsp. almond of lemon extract
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. yellow food coloring (if desired)
1st cream butter, Crisco, and sugar. Beat, beat, beat, until very creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, the beat until all of this is very creamy.
2nd Add sifted flour alternating with buttermilk to creamed butter, add sugar.
3rd Add extracts and coloring last.
4th add baking powder (adding this last will make the cake rise better)
Bake at 300 degrees for 2 hours...Baking at this temperature won't burn cake under bottom.
Secret Pan Dressing
1/2 cup plain flour
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup Crisco(plain)
Beat all ingredients for 10 minutes, (This will last in refrigerator a long time)
Note: use your fingers to grease cake pan ,when cake is cool it will slide out. This dressing is good to use for anything that might stick to a pan.
This is my husbands Mark's special recipe. It's by far the best Pound Cake I have ever eaten. The pan dressing works everytime, never sticks, and I have used it for greasing pans for biscuits, cookies, etc....
