Pop-Pop’S Big White Almond Pound Cake

• 3 cups Sugar
• 6 whole Eggs
• 3 cups Flour
• 1 cup Milk
• 1-1/2 cup Crisco
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1 teaspoon Almond Extract
• 3 teaspoons Baking Powder

1. Grease and flour a large tube pan (or use the spray).
2. Place all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and beat at HIGH speed for 6 minutes.
3. Pour into the large tube pan and cook in a preheated oven at 325 degrees for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
4. Check after 1 hour and ten minutes. Test for doneness using a thin knife. If the knife comes out clean, the cake is done. Try not to overbake the cake so it remains moist.
5. You could use two small tube pans and cook for around 45 minutes.
6. Let the cake sit for 10 minutes then turn it out onto a rack to cool. Ice with your favorite icing when completely cool.
7. I frost with chocolate frosting, which will be the next recipe I submit.
