Lenore's Brown Sugar Pound Cake.... found originally in a FC 4/79 . The lady said she was always asked by her church to make this.
recipe:
2 1/2 cups of sifted cake flour
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened (3 sticks)
2 1/2 cups firmly packed dark brown sugar
6 eggs
5 tsp of vanilla
1 1/2 tsp of lemon juice
Confectioner's sugar for dusting
Butter and lightly flour a 10-by-4 inch angel food cake tube pan. Sift flour onto wax paper and set aside.
Beat butter in large bowl with electric mixer until creamy and fluffy. Add brown sugar, a few tablesoons at a time, beating 1 to 2 minutes after each additon. Beat in eggs one at a time and continue to beat until mixture is very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the vanilla and lemon juice.
Turn mixer to low speed and gradually blend in flour. Spoon batter into prepared pan, leveling with a spatuala. Bake in a slow oven (325 degrees) for 1 hour 20minutes, or until top springs back when lightly pressed with fingertip.
Cool in pan on wire rack 20 minutes. Loosen around sides and center of the tube with a small knife or metal spatuala. Remove from pan and cool completely. Lightly dust top with confectioners sugar before serving.
