POUND CAKE!
from Addy's KitcheN

This cake makes a real mess as you put it all together - and you do need a kitchen (toaster oven on your desk won't cut it)

BUT - It's huge! Feeds a whole houseful all weekend long! - Has enough good stuff to say that it's nutritional . . and it freezes real well so you can always have one (or pieces of one) - on hand!

The Ingredients:

• 1 cup shortening (Like Crisco “FAT IN A CAN!”) or Butter if you prefer
• 3 cups flour
• 1/4 t of baking soda
• 1/2 pint sour cream (either buy it that way - or measure out a cup ‘cause it’s the same thing)
• 3 “SCANT” (that means on the slighter side as opposed to heaping) cups of SUGAR
• 6 eggs! (This is very good for yu!) SEPARATED... That means yellow in one cup - and the whites in another (as in a “greaseless” bowl where you will beat them stiff right before the end.)  (rinse it in vinegar if you think that it might not be totally greaseless) Keep the bowl in the fridge or freezer while you're doin’ the other stuff - (whites get stiff easier if they're cold)
• 2 t of Vanilla Extract
• (I like to add 1 t. of almond extract too - ‘cause I really like stuff that tastes like almond - but that’s not in the original recipe)

Into the main mixing bowl goes:
The sugar and the shortening
Mix the soda with the flour ...
