PASTEL POUND CAKE
What a beautiful cake for the summertime, Christmastime, Easter or anytime. I found this recipe in an old Southern Living magazine and just had to try it. I'm so glad I did because it's not only pretty but so tasty, too. Definitely a keeper recipe for me.

Steps:
- 1. BEAT butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add sugar, beating 5 to 7 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating just until yellow disappears. Stir in vanilla and lemon extracts.
- 2. COMBINE flour, baking powder and salt; add to butter mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat at low speed just until blended after each addition.
- 3. Grease well and then dust with flour a 10" tube pan.
- 4. DIVIDE batter into 3 portions. Tint each a different color, beating each portion at low speed just until blended. Pour "PINK" batter into a greased and floured 10" tube pan. Now Spoon "GREEN" batter over the pink and "YELLOW" batter over the green. This step is very important. You ask why? I don't know but that's what the recipe stated.
- 5. BAKE at 325 degrees in a preheated oven for approximately 1 hour and 15 to 30 minutes. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes; remove from pan and cool completely on rack. I bake mine for the 1 hour and 30 minutes.
