AUNT MINNE LEE'S POUND CAKE
Aunt Minnie Lee was my Grandfather's baby sister. She could quilt, bake, garden and do most everything a genteel Southern Belle was supposed to be accomplished in doing. I remember her at 96, dressed in a spiffy sun dress and on her hands and knees in the front yard, weeding her roses and day lilies in the boiling Mississippi...

Steps:
- 1. Do NOT preheat your oven.
- 2. Cream butter and shortening together in a large mixing bowl until well blended. Add sugar, lemon and vanilla extracts.
- 3. In a medium bowl, sift and measure 2 cups of flour. Sift and measure twice more. Gradually add four into the creamed butter/sugar mixture.
- 4. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing at medium speed and being careful not to over beat.
- 5. Pour the mixture into a prepared bundt pan that has been sprayed with cooking oil.
- 6. Place the bundt pan in a COLD oven and bake at 275 degrees for 1 hour or a tooth pick comes out clean.
- 7. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely in pan. Turn out onto a cake plate. Glaze if you like, but I am a plain pound cake gal. Enjoy!
