This is one of my Grandmother’s recipes. It’s so good :). Pound cake is great in so many ways… just plain, with icing, buttercream frosting, with a glaze, with fresh fruit or strawberries and whipped cream. It’s perfect for a Baked Alaska, which I will be posting next week :).<\/p>\n

Bake it in loaf pans or a bundt or tube pan. ENJOY!!!<\/p>\n

Directions:<\/h2>\n

Yield: One bundt cake<\/span><\/p>\n

  3. Add the third cup of flour to the egg and sugar mixture and blend together.<\/li>\n
  4. Add the vanilla extract and another egg. Blend together.<\/li>\n
  5. Mix together the milk and water. Mix 1\/2 of this liquid mixture and the final egg with the cake batter we’ve been making.<\/li>\n
  6. In another bowl, mix together 2 cups of flour and baking powder. If you are using salted butter, omit the salt, otherwise add the salt and mix. Mix 1\/2 of this dry mixture with the cake batter.<\/li>\n

  8. Mix the remaining dry ingredients until well blended.<\/li>\n
