Thrifty Pound Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 c. shortening (I use 1/2 c. Crisco and 1/2 c. margarine)
2 c. sugar
3 c. plain flour
4 eggs
1 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla flavor
1 tsp. lemon flavor
1 tsp. baking powder

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0.
Sift flour once, measure and add baking powder.
Sift again.
Put shortening, sugar, eggs and flavoring in a large bowl of an electric mixer.
On high speed, beat 2 1/2 to 3 minutes; then turn to low.
Mix milk and flour, alternately, about 1/3 cup milk and flour at a time.
Just mix long enough to get mixed good.
Bake in a well greased and floured tube pan for an hour at 350\u00b0.
