Time 2h30m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 ½ teaspoons lemon extract
3 cups white sugar
2 sticks butter
½ cup shortening (such as Crisco®)
5 eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease a tube pan.
  • Sift flour and salt together into a bowl. Mix milk and lemon extract together in a separate bowl.
  • Combine sugar, butter, and shortening in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating until well combined. Mix in the flour mixture alternately with the milk mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Spread batter in the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 2 hours. Do not open the oven door while the cake is baking. Cool briefly in the pan before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
