5 Flavor Pound Cake

2 Sticks Butter Softened
1/2 Cup Crisco Shortening
3 Cups Sugar
5 Eggs Well Beaten
3 Cups Flour
1/2 Tsp. Baking Powder
1 Tsp. Salt
1 Cup Milk
1 Tsp. each of vanilla, lemon, almond, coconut and butter flavor extracts.

Combine butter and Crisco. Add sugar and beat until fluffy. Add eggs; mix flour and baking powder and salt, alternately with milk. Add extracts. Pour into well greased and floured tube pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 and 1/2 hours. Let cool completely before you turn it out of the pan. That means you'll need to make it about four hours in advance of class to be on the safe side. You can put a glaze on it but it doesn't need it. You can also throw some fresh strawberries or blueberries on it with whipped cream. You'll be back at your great grandmother's house again with the first bite, tasting one of your sweetest childhood memories.
