Fuller Family Pound Cake

I was going to rant about how I'm feeling kind a bitter this morning but I decided against it. It's a beautiful day out and my kids are being relatively good. I'm hoping we can all get out for a walk today since it is finally not raining. I'm just in a funk because the last two days have been kind bad as far as food goes and I'm kinda beating myself up over it. But I keep remembering how far I've come and how I am never going back there and it gets me through the day. Again the sun is shining so I think a walk outside is what we all need to feel better. 

That brings me to today's recipe. I know it's been a while yet again but we have had soooooooo much going on in this family! Anniversary's, birthdays, and weddings, not to mention mothers day as well! So since it's been all about family why not a family recipe? Today's is my mother in laws family pound cake recipe. I remember the first time I had this I was fell in love with it. It's a very simple cake but it's very tasty. You can leave it plain or add a frosting to it. It has a nice brown crust on the outside and the inside is a nice yellow color. It's just overall a great cake.

Fuller Family Pound Cake

Ingredients

2 cups Sugar

1/2 cup vegetable oil

4 Eggs

1 cup milk

1 tsp. vanilla

3 cups Flour, sifted

1 tsp. baking powder

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour a bundt pan. In one bowl combined eggs, milk and vanilla.

2. In second bowl add flour and baking powder

3. With a electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment cream together Sugar and oil.

4. Once you are done creaming the sugar and oil you will start to add the dry and wet ingredients, alternating each one. Beat together on medium speed until all ingredients are mixed together, making sure to scrape the sides of the bowl as you mix.

5. Pour entire mixture into bundt pan and place in the oven for 30 minutes. Once those 30 minutes are up reduce heat to 325 and bake for another hour or so. Use a toothpick to check for doneness. If the toothpick comes out clean the cake is finished.

6. Let cool completely in pan. 

My husband sprinkled powdered sugar on top so that is one option you have once the cake is cool. Another is to make a simple glaze to go on top of it. Just a powdered sugar/milk glaze would work fine.

Now this cake is meant to be shared because it's really not the best for you. It's 7 PPV's if you cut it into 16 pieces. More or less will change the PPV's

Something that goes great with this cake is fruit. Berries, peaches, anything that you can think of. 

Trust me you will get addicted with the first bite. 

There ya go! A family recipe and I think it's a pretty good one. Go ahead and try it and let me know how it turns out!
