1 c. butter, softened
2 c. Imperial granulated sugar
3 eggs
3 c. sifted all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. milk
1 tsp. lemon extract
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 c. flaked coconut (optional)

Cream together butter and Imperial granulated sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift flour with baking powder and salt. Add lemon extract and vanilla extract to milk. Add flour mixture alternately with milk mixture to creamed butter and sugar, beating after each addition. Add coconut. Pour into greased and floured 10" tube pan. Bake at 350 degrees about 55 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool 10 minutes in pan, then remove from pan and cool on rack. Makes 12 generous slices or 20 smaller slices. I omit coconut. Good as plain cake.
