1/2 lb. (2 sticks) butter
2 c. sugar
5 whole eggs
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. vanilla
2 c. sifted flour

Cream butter and sugar in mixing bowl; add eggs, lemon juice and vanilla; beat well. Add sifted flour. Bake in angel food cake pan that has been greased and floured for 1 hour and 15 minutes in 325 degree oven. Let cool before removing from pan.

This is an old-fashioned pound cake. As a variation, sprinkle crushed blanched almonds over the top of the cake right before putting into the oven to bake.
