Recipe for a large pound cake?

Question

do any one have a recipe for a large pound cake that calls for one pd. of crisco 4 cups of flour i lost my recipe

Answer 1

I've never heard of using Crisco in a pound cake (although I do use it for cookies).  The name "pound cake" came from the old recipes of a pound of butter, pound of eggs, and pound of flour:) ...  This is the best pound cake I've ever tasted, and I make it every year for the holidays

CELESTIAL POUND CAKE

1/3 c. apricot brandy (I sometimes use plain, or Triple Sec instead)

1 tsp. real vanilla extract

1 tsp. orange extract

1/2 tsp. EACH lemon, rum and almond extract

3 c. sifted cake flour

1/2 tsp. baking soda

pinch of salt

1 c. sour cream

1 c. real unsalted butter, room temp

3 c. sugar

5 eggs, room temp

*** Combine first 6 ingredients;  set flavorings aside.  Sift and measure flour;  sift again with baking soda & salt.  Cream butter & sugar in large bowl;  beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each.  Add sifted dry ingredients in three portions, alternating with the sour cream.  Blend in flavorings and pour into greased 10-cup tube or bundt pan.  Bake 1 hour and 20 min, in pre-heated 325 oven.  Cool on rack for 5 min.....

This has quite a few ingredients and takes a little more time and effort.  But, it is absolutely FABULOUS!  As long as you're making a pound cake, it might as well be the best one you've ever tasted!

Answer 2

The biggest ones I have call for 3½ cups flour adn 3 sticks (3/4 lb.) butter.  Sorry.

Answer 3

I visited the Crisco website and found this recipe.  I don't know if this is what you're looking for but hope this is helpful.
