1 1/2 c. real butter
3 c. sugar
5 unbeaten eggs
3 c. flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 c. milk
1 tsp. almond or vanilla (I like almond)

Cream butter and sugar. Beat in eggs. Sift flour and baking powder together. Add alternately with milk to creamed mixture. Blend in flavoring. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 20 minutes in 1 tube pan greased and floured. If using 2 loaf pans it takes less baking time.
