Pound Cake

Submitted by: Babs Herma

This is another 52-year-old recipe that my family loves.  We serve it with fruit:  strawberries or blueberries or peaches.  Top with whipped cream.  Delicious!

Cream together: 

1 cup butter, softened

3 cups sugar

6 eggs

Sift together:

3 cups flour

1 tsp. salt

¼ tsp. soda

Add: 

2 tsps. vanilla

1 tsp. coconut flavoring

½ pint sour cream

 

To the butter and sugar mixture, add eggs one at a time.  Add flavorings and dry ingredients alternately with the sour cream. 

Place in lightly greased bundt pan (or 9 x 13 cake pan) and bake at 325 degrees for one to one and one-half hours.
