Time 2h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup shortening
1 cup butter
2 ½ cups white sugar
5 eggs
2 teaspoons almond extract
1 cup milk
½ teaspoon baking powder
3 cups cake flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Lightly grease and flour a 10 inch Bundt pan.
  • Cream shortening, butter and sugar until light and fluffy (for best results use an electric mixer). This will take a while. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in almond extract.
  • Combine baking powder and flour. Stir into creamed mixture alternately with the milk, starting and ending with flour. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.

This cake is a little too dense for my taste, but it's still very good.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the pecans with walnuts. The cake still turned out great!
