Lemon Pound Cake

1 pound butter

4 cups sugar

12 eggs

4 cups flour

1 ounce lemon extract

Beat/cream butter & sugar together. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing slowly. When combined, add flour, 1/2 cup at a time. Mix in lemon extract. Pour into greased & floured bundt pan and bake at 350 for one hour. Serve with fresh fruit & whipped cream. Easy & delicious!

**This makes a big cake. Sometimes, I have had to adjust the temperature of the oven down and bake a little longer because the outside was getting done, but not the middle. I start checking after about 45 minutes or so and just use my 'best guess'. If it seems that the middle isn't as done as the outside, I reduce the temp to 325, and continue to bake until the middle is cooked. I usually serve it with fresh strawberries and whipped cream, but have also made a lemon glaze to drizzle over. I have not tried switching out vanilla or almond for the lemon extract, but don't know why that wouldn't work.
