INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 3 cups white sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups margarine or butter, softened
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup evaporated milk

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9 inch tube pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and margarine until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and lemon juice. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; mix into the batter alternating with the milk just until blended. Pour into the prepared pan.
  3. Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the crown comes out clean. Cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
