2 sticks butter
2 c. sugar
6 eggs
2 c. flour (I use 1 of cake flour and 1 of self-rising)
2 tbsp. lemon

Cream butter, add sugar and mix until creamy. Add eggs alternately with flour. Do not over mix or cake batter will be thin. All ovens differ. I bake in gas stove with foil on racks. 1 hour and 45 minutes at 325 degrees. Line bottom of tube pan with wax paper.
