Easy Pound Cake

• 2/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
• 1 1/4 cups sugar
• 2/3 cup milk
• 1 tsp vanilla, almond, or lemon extract
• 2 cups flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 3 eggs

1. Cream butter and sugar till light and fluffy. Blend in milk and extract. Sift dry ingredients together and add. Beat till smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Pour into a well greased and floured loaf pan. (Mine is about 9x5".) Bake at 300° for about 90 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack. Cool completely.
