This pound cake with evaporated milk is a wonderfully moist dessert. I have tried countless recipes, but this one is undoubtedly the best!

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 14 servings

  • 1 cup margarine

  • ½ cup shortening

  • 3 cups white sugar

  • 5 eggs

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup self-rising flour

  • 1 cup evaporated milk

  • 1 tablespoon lemon extract

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Don't preheat the oven. Grease and flour a 10-inch tube or Bundt pan. Sift together the all-purpose flour and self-rising flour; set aside.

  2. In a large bowl, cream together margarine, shortening, and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Then beat in flour mixture and milk, mixing just until incorporated. Finally, stir in lemon extract and vanilla.

  3. Pour batter into a 10-inch tube or Bundt pan. Place cake in a cool oven and set the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
