Perfect Pound Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 cups sugar
2 sticks margarine, softened
6 eggs
1 cup whipping cream
3 cups plain flour
1 tsp butternut flavoring

Preparation

Beat margarine at medium speed until creamy (the butter will become a lighter yellow color; this is an important step, as the job of the mixer is to incorporate air into the margarine so the cake will rise.
It will take approximately 7 minutes, depending on the power of your mixer.)
Gradually add sugar, beating at medium speed until light and fluffy (again, the time will vary and butter will turn to a fluffy white).
Add eggs, 1 at a time beating just until yellow yolk disappears, add flour to creamed mixture alternating with whipping cream.
Beat at low speed just until blended after each addition.
The batter should be smooth and bits of flour should be well incorporated; to rid batter of lumps, stir gently with a rubber spatula.
Stir in extracts, pour into a greased and floured 10-inch tube pan.
(Use vegetable shortening or butter to grease the pan, getting every nook and cranny covered.) Bake at 300 for 1 hour and 40 minutes or until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 to 15 minutes.
Remove from pan, and cool completely on a wire rack.
