Vintage Pecan Pound Cake Recipe
1 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons milk
5 large eggs
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup of finely chopped pecans
2 teaspoons lemon juice (fresh)
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
In a large mixing bowl cream together the shortening and granulated sugar; stir in the milk until all ingredients are well combined. Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition for 20 seconds. In another large mixing bowl sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt. Stir the flour mixture into the creamed mixture and stir until all ingredients are well combined. Stir in the chopped pecans, lemon juice and grated lemon rind.
