Ingredientes
- Cake Show Pound Cake
- âCake Show Million Dollar Pound Cakeâ
- 1 lb. margarine, softened (I now use unsalted butter.)
- 3 c. sugar
- 6 eggs
- 3/4 c. milk
- 4 c. flour
- 1/2 t. vanilla
- 1/2 t. almond extract
- I wonder if there still is a Cake and Egg Show in the county that I grew up in and if 4-H âboys and girlsâ still enter âMillion Dollar Pound Cake.â
