CAKE FOR SISTER RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• Grease and flour bundt pan( I use the baking spray).
• Cream butter and Crisco then add sugar. Mix until thick and creamy.
• Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each.
• Sift flour and baking powder together. Alternately add flour and sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour.Mix well but do not overbeat(it will make the cake tough).
• Add flavoring.
• Put into prepared pan and bake 90 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for 20 minutes before turning out. Let cool.
• This is good warm or room temperature. And it is even better the next day.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. These are some of the main ingredients. I used Butter Flavored Crisco for the shortening.
• Here is the Cake Enhancer that I used, 1 tablespoon per cup of flour.
• This is one of the pans that I used to bake the cake it has a 10 cup capacity and is called a CROWN BUNDT PAN. Always remember when filling the pans to leave at least a 1 1/2 to 2 inch space from the top of the cake pan to allow for the cake to rise during baking.
• This is the other 10 cup Bundt pan that I used it is called an ELEGANT PARTY BUNDT PAN. Spray both pans liberally with Bakers Joy and set aside till needed.
• Add the butter and shortening & cake enhancer to a large mixing bowl and cream together by gradually adding in the sugar a small amount at a time, and beating until mixture is smooth and no granules remain.
• Add the room temperature eggs, one at a time and beat well after each addition.
• Gradually add in the cake flour, alternating with the milk & lemon extract & Lor Ann lemon emulsion. Beat well. Add a few drops of yellow food color if desired for a more lemon colored batter. Beat until batter is smooth. Then divide evenly between the two prepared cake pans or one large pan.
• Place in preheated 325 degree F. oven and bake for 1 hour or until toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out clean.
• Remove from oven sit on metal rack for about 5-7 minutes then invert onto a large cake platter. This is the ELEGANT PARTY BUNDT PAN CAKE.
• This is the Crown Bundt Cake. I decided to leave them both plain after all, and served them with fresh fruit. GLAZE: MELT BUTTER IN SAUCEPAN OVER LOW HEAT;THEN ADD SIFTED POWDERED SUGAR AND STIR, ADD IN LEMON JUICE OR MILK AND LEMON EXTRACT & STIR UNTIL BLENDED, REMOVE FROM HEAT. POUR OVER CAKE AND LET DRIZZLE DOWN SIDES OF CAKE AS DESIRED. Using lemon juice instead of milk adds more of a tart lemony flavor to the glaze.
