AUNT MINNE LEE'S POUND CAKE
Aunt Minnie Lee was my Grandfather's baby sister. She could quilt, bake, garden and do most everything a genteel Southern Belle was supposed to be accomplished in doing. I remember her at 96, dressed in a spiffy sun dress and on her hands and knees in the front yard, weeding her roses and day lilies in the boiling Mississippi sun. This is the recipe for her Lemon Pound Cake. As a little girl I remember that there was always one under a beautiful crystal cake plate on her table. It is still one of my favorites today.

- In a medium bowl, sift and measure 2 cups of flour. Sift and measure twice more. Gradually add four into the creamed butter/sugar mixture.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing at medium speed and being careful not to over beat.
- Pour the mixture into a prepared bundt pan that has been sprayed with cooking oil.
- Place the bundt pan in a COLD oven and bake at 275 degrees for 1 hour or a tooth pick comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool completely in pan. Turn out onto a cake plate. Glaze if you like, but I am a plain pound cake gal. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will produce a better tasting pound cake. This includes using real butter, eggs, and flour.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making the cake lighter and more tender.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Use a sifter to add the flour to the batter: This will help to ensure that the flour is evenly distributed and that there are no lumps.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to prevent the cake from sinking in the middle.
- Cool the cake completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
