The Best Old Fashioned Pound Cake

Contributed by: Margie House

Ingredients
1 lb. butter, softened
2 1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
3 1/2 cup flour, do not sift before measuring
6 eggs

Directions
Cream butter and sugar together; add eggs and vanilla, then sift flour.
Mix until smooth - will have the consistency of frosting. Dough will be heavy.
Line the bottom of 2 standard loaf pans with wax paper; do not grease sides of pans.
Fill loaf pans 1/2 way to top.
Bake at slightly less than 350 degrees 1 to 1 1/4 hours; they should be slightly brown and split on top.
Test with skewer for doneness - skewer should come out clean.
You can also use a bunt pan.
