Time 1h30m

Yield 1 cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup cooking oil
1 cup margarine, at room temp
5 eggs, at room temp
1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
1 teaspoon lemon flavoring
3 cups plain flour (all purpose)
3 cups sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup milk
cooking spray (or shortening and flour)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Mix cooking oil (Crisco works best), sugar, margarine(Can't believe it's not butter works best), eggs, vanilla and lemon flavoring together in a large mixing bowl with mixer on medium speed. Tip: when adding eggs, add two then mix, add two more then mix, add last one and mix.
  • In separate bowl, mix flour and baking powder together and set aside (can use whisk to mix).
  • Slowly add flour/baking powder mixture in with the wet mixture. Tip: Add a little flour mixture and a little milk, repeat until all milk and flour mix has been added. This helps to keep batter texture thick and smooth.
  • Spray (Baker's Joy works best) or batter bunt/tube pan thoroughly.
  • Pour batter mixture in bunt/tube pan. Place in preheated oven and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Cake is done when cake tester comes out clean.
  • GOD BLESS
