# Pound Cake

Hints:-Secret of fine pound cake is in the mixing, much beating being essential.

One-half the recipe serves fifteen persons amply.

A paler yellow cake can be had by substituting the whites of two eggs for every yolk discarded.

In the full recipe not more than four yolks should be discarded.

A very little lemon combined with vanilla or almond, improves the flavor of the cake.

Bake, if possible, in an old-fashioned tin pan with a center tube.
