CAKE:

3 c. plain flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. salt
3 c. sugar
5 eggs
8 oz. (2 sticks) butter
1/2 c. vegetable shortening
2 tsp. lemon flavoring
1 c. milk

FROSTING:

1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
1 lb. confectioners' sugar
Small amount of lemon juice required for spreading (about 2 tbsp.)

Sift flour, salt and baking powder together and set aside. Cream shortening, butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add 1 egg at a time, beating for 1 minute after each addition. Add flavoring and beat. Add portions of dry ingredients alternately with milk. Beat until completely mixed. Pour mixture into a greased and floured 10 inch tube pan and bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool before frosting.

Frosting: All ingredients should be at room temperature. Cream together cream cheese and sifted confectioners' sugar. Add lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon at a time, until frosting reaches spreading consistency.
