Southwest Georgia Pound Cake

Southwest Georgia Pound Cake
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
3 cups sugar
6 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (you may use lemon or almond
flavoring instead)
Generously grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan. Do not preheat the
oven.
Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar together until
fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Alternately add flour
mixture and heavy cream to butter-sugar mixture, beginning and ending
with flour. Stir in flavoring.
Pour batter into prepared pan. Put into a cold oven and set the
temperature to 325 degrees F. Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes without
opening the oven door. Bake for an additional 15 minutes if
necessary. Remove from the oven and cool in pan for 15 minutes.
Invert cake onto cake plate. For a real treat, serve yourself a slice
while it's still warm.
What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight - it's the size of the fight in the dog......
