Subject: RE: BS: do you like pound cake?
OK...sorry it has taken so long to get this to you guys. But here it goes. You can make either sour cream or cream cheese pound cake. CREAM CHEESE / SOUR CREAM POUND CAKE: 4 sticks of butter 3 cups of sugar 3 cups of flour 8 eggs 1 tsp of vanilla flavoring a pinch of salt a pinch of baking soda *either one: 8 oz of cream cheese OR 8 oz sour cream melt butter to room temperature (& cream cheese if using) mix butter, sugar, (cream cheese OR sour cream), salt, baking soda, and vanilla flavoring together very good. Then add flour and mix well. Then add eggs. Mix up together very well till smooth. Grease, flour, and sugar your cake pan...pour batter in. Make sure your oven is preheated to 300 degrees... Cook this for 1 1/2 hours. Best when eaten hot with a tall glass of cold milk. ***If you can get fresh eggs from a farm...it is better. ***Using either one...the cream cheese or the sour cream, it is a good pound cake.

Here is a quick and easy recipe for PECAN PIE: (makes 2) 1 stick of butter or margarine 3 TBSP of flour 1 box of light brown sugar 6 TBSP of milk 3 eggs 2 tsp vinegar 1/2 tsp vanilla flavor 1 1/2 cups of chopped nuts

melt margarine at room temperature, add in flour, & sugar. Mix well. Then add eggs and milk. Stir in vanilla & vinegar. Add nuts and mix all together. Then pour into an unbaked pied shell (shallow ones). Bake in a COLD oven for one hour at 300 degrees. This is better than the karo syrup receipe. Good luck and I hope you enjoy. SandyToes
