Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup butter, softened

5 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

  • In a bowl, cream butter, shortening and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add milk and vanilla. Sift together dry ingredients; add gradually to creamed mixture, blending just until well mixed. Pour into a well-greased fluted tube pan.

Refrigerate leftovers.
