Big Pound cake
3c sugar
3c flour
6 eggs
2 sticks butter (soft)
½c shortening
1c milk
1t vanilla
1t almond extract
3t baking powder
Place all ingredients in a LARGE bowl ..... Beat 5 minutes on high speed
Pour batter into a WELL greased 1/2 sheet pan.
Bake 350 for 45 minutes - 1 hour (until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean). Allow to cool in pan until luke warm. Once removed from the pan, let it sit on a wire rack and cover the whole thing with a heavy towel, till the next day ... This allows the "crunch" to form. If you flip it onto a plate or serving platter right away, the part that *was* the top (open end of pan) can get soggy. Dust with powdered sugar. It fits perfectly in a 1/2 sheet pan.
