1/2 lb. (2 sticks) butter
2 c. sugar
5 whole eggs
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. vanilla
2 c. sifted cake 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 I sprinkle crushed blanched almonds over the top of the cake right before putting it in the oven to bake.
