OUR FAVORITE POUND CAKE 
1 (1 lb.) box Domino confectioners XXXX sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. mace
3/4 lb. (1 1/2 c.) butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. almond extract
6 eggs
3 1/2 c. sifted all-purpose flour
2/3 c. milk

Blend sugar, salt, and mace in a large mixing bowl. Cream sugar mixture and butter until light and fluffy. Add extracts. Beat eggs into mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add parts of the flour and milk to creamed mixture alternately, blending well after each addition.

When smooth, turn batter into greased and floured 10-inch tube pan. Bake in moderate oven 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean and cake is golden brown.

Allow cake to cool 5 minutes in pan; turn out on cooling rack. Cool thoroughly. Yield: one 10-inch cake or 20 servings. (I use 3 loaf pans and freeze 2 cakes. Great for strawberry shortcake!)
