Thread Name: BS: Help!!! Pound Cake Recipe....
Subject: RE: BS: Help!!! Pound Cake Recipe....
Maryrrf: Hi, This is Bob's wife--Eve. Yes, this recipe is quite old; it was given to me by an aunt when I was a "child bride" of 19 which makes it over 40 years old. I actually had it 5 years ago when my kids came for Thanksgiving and made it frequently when they were small so they requested it. How I could have lost it is unreal but we did move so....the only strange aspect of this particular version is that it calls for vanilla, which I don't recall but perhaps I can work with the rest of it. A pound of flour will be interesting, right? It did specify cake flour; I have no idea what the difference between pastry flour and cake flour is but I used to buy a box of cake flour when I made it. It also called for lemon extract and not zest so the recipe is similar but not "it". This is better than not having any frame of reference so unless it pops up, I'll try this and do so appreciate you looking into it for us. Will keep you updated.

Many thanks,

Eve
