Cake Anyone? ? ?


When I am not snacking on a pineapple sour cream cake, or a fresh strawberry cake, my next choice would be a lemon pound cake.  I found this recipe. Simple, but looks GOOD! And, I usually have all the ingredients in the house!

LUSCIOUS LEMON POUND CAKE 
1/2 c. butter (diet or low cholesterol)
1/2 c. shortening
2 c. sugar
5 eggs
1 (8 oz.) container sour cream
1/4 c. milk
Juice & rind of 1 fresh lemon
3 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tbsp. lemon extract
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Cream butter and shortening; gradually add sugar, beating well at medium speed. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Combine sour cream, lemon juice and milk; stir until smooth.Combine flour and baking powder. Add alternately to creamed mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Add flavorings and lemon rind. Bake in a greased and floured 10 inch tube pan at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours. Calories 240 per slice.
