Butternut Recipe ∼ Butternut Pound Cake

I love this cake. Makes your whole house smell wonderful. If you can't find butternut flavoring, you can also use vanilla-butternut or a combination of vanilla, butter and any nut flavoring of your choice. It is important that you bake this cake in a cold oven - do not preheat!

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• ½ cup shortening
• 2 ½ cups sugar
• 5 eggs
• 2 tablespoons butternut flavored extract
• 1 (5 ounce) can evaporated milk
• 3 fluid ounces milk
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon salt

Cooking Directions

1. Grease and flour a 10 inch tube pan. Mix together the flour and salt. Set aside.
2. Combine the evaporated milk and whole milk; Set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the butternut flavoring. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing just until incorporated.
3. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 1 hour and 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.
