TERI'S POUND CAKE:
This is my Christmas present to yo'll. A French friend of ours, Teri, gave me this recipe about 30 years ago. I have made over 100 cakes and they have come perfect every time when baked for 60 minutes at 350-degrees.. I usually bake the cake in a 11-inch cake ring pan but I have used a eight-inch bundt pan on occasion. You might have to bake a few minutes longer with the bundt pan. Check with a toothpick after 60 minutes.
HERE'S THE RECIPE: 2&1/4 sticks of butter
3 cups sugar
3 cups flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
6 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
pinch salt
8 oz. evaporated milk
Melt butter, blend in sugar, add eggs one at a time, pour in milk slowly, add flour with baking powder. Mix well. slow mix for one minute, add vanilla, blend well.
I had a friend use this recipe and she said her cake didn't come out anything like mine. I'm not a baker so I don't have a clue as to what she might have done, but if I had to guess, I would say she didn't mix well all along the line. I don't understand "mix well" so I might overdo it, but they come out just fine if I do say so myself. Mix well, Andy (Andrew M. Dolan 2014)
