2 3/4 c. sugar
1 stick butter, softened
5 large fresh eggs
1 c. sweet milk
1 c. Crisco
3 c. plain White Lily flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. butter flavoring

Cream butter, sugar and Crisco well. Add eggs, one at a time. Beat well. Add flavorings. Sift flour, baking powder and salt together. Add milk and flour, a little at a time, until all is used.

Bake in a tube cake pan that has been greased with solid Crisco shortening and floured at 325°F for 1 hour or longer, depending on how hot the oven cooks.
