This is my Great, Great Aunt Lizzie's Recipe.  Yes, I knew her and had a great relationship with her.  I was so blessed to grow up with my grandparents, great grandparents, etc.  I had been looking high and low for this recipe and then I found that an Aunt of mine had put it in theor church recipe book!  Yeah!  I need to make.

It was always a fond memory!

Aunt Lizzie's Cold Oven Pound Cake

• 4 eggs
• 1/2 lb butter
• 1 1/2 c sugar
• 2 c. flour
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 c milk
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1/2 tsp lemon juice or 1/4 tsp. bottled lemon extract

Use a timer for mixing.  After all ingredients have been creamed in bowl, set timer and beat 20 minutes on speed # 5 (I am not sure about this number but I am sure she beat it a loooong time!)  Use spatula or wooden spoon while mixing to make right consistency.  Pour batter into well-greased and floured tube pan or bread pans.  Put in cold oven; turn to 350 degrees and bake 1 hour.
