TENDER ALMOND POUND CAKE
This recipe makes a dense, sweet cake. As the name "Pound Cake" implies, the recipe calls for a "pound" each of butter, eggs, sugar, and flour. This recipe was given to me by my Czech Grandmother.

Steps:
- Cream the butter.
- Add a pound of eggs (typically 8 or 9 eggs), the sifted sugar, almond flavoring, and lemon juice.
- Cream until smooth.
- My Grandmother's recipe said to beat for 1/2 hour.
- If you are using an electric mixer, adjust accordingly.
- Gradually add the flour and mix well.
- Pre-heat oven to 300.
- Fill a lightly greased form 3/4 of the way.
- Loaf pans work well, as do mini-loafs or cup-cakes.
- For loafs, check for doneness with knife-test at 90 minutes.
- Mini-loafs and cup-cakes will finish sooner.
- I like this pound cake plain, or with a light dusting of confectioners' sugar.
- Alternately, you can apply a thin coat of icing.
