Grandmother's Pound Cake II recipe

3 servings

2 cups butter

3 cups white sugar

6 eggs

4 cups all-purpose flour

2/3 cup milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Grease 3 - 8x4 inch loaf pans, then line with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in the eggs one at a time.

Beat in the flour alternately with the milk, mixing just until incorporated.

Pour batter evenly into prepared loaf pans.

Bake in the preheated oven for 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

After removing them from the oven, immediately loosen cake edges with a knife.

Allow to cool in pans for 10 minutes, then remove from the pans.

Strip off the parchment paper and cool completely on wire racks.
