A pound cake. No icing, just plain and tasty



Nun's Cake (Pound Cake)

1 1/2 cups of sugar

5 eggs
1 tsp. of vanilla

3 cups of sifted flour
2 1/2 tsps. baking powder

3/4 cups of milk

Beat the butter until it is almost as light as whipped cream.

Divide the sugar in half and beat the first 3/4 cup full into the
creamed butter and then the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar into them.

Add the beaten egg mixture, a little at a time, to the beaten butter
mixture. Beating in each addition well. Add the vanilla and continue
to beat until grains of sugar are smooth.

salt. Add the flour about one-fourth at a time alternately with
one-third of the milk, blend the dry ingredients and milk in the
