- If you try to make a pound cake with margarine or shortening you
- will end up with a tasteless mess. Butter is the major taste in a pound
- cake; even if it weren't, butter and margarine have different
- properties in baking, and this recipe is adjusted for butter.
- .PP
- Don't make this cake if you don't have an electric
- mixer or \fIvery\fR strong wrists.
- I figure I spend nearly half an hour beating
- butter and such when I make this cake. Also, this cake is easier to handle
- if you have a tube pan that comes apart into two pieces.
- .SH RATING
- .I Difficulty:
- easy to moderate.
- .I Time:
- 30\-40 minutes preparation, 1 hour baking.
- .I Precision:
- measure the ingredients.
