1 cup whole milk
2 tsp. vanilla extract or flavoring
2 tsp. lemon extract or flavoring

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour a large tube pan.

Alternately, mix in the flour, milk and flavorings until completely mixed.

I made this pound cake yesterday and it is really good and moist. I substituted 2 tsp. almond flavoring in place of the lemon and it was yummy. My all time favorite pound cake recipe is Elvis Presley's, but I put this recipe right up there with his!
