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

THE POLISH CHURCH POUND CAKE



The Polish Church Pound Cake image

Years ago this was THE most popular and coveted recipe at the Polish church of my youth. The flavoring most used was a butter/vanilla/nut flavoring combination sold locally. The cherries and nuts were not cut fine; thus they formed a pretty pattern in a slice of cake. The cake is moist and flavorful with a lovely texture. Very important to start baking in a COLD OVEN!. And the baking time is LONG! No icing needed. Or wanted!
