Old Fashioned Pound Cake

Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C). Grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt pan and set it aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Combine the milk and extract in a small bowl. Beat in the flour alternately with the milk mixture, mixing just until incorporated.

Pour batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove cake from the pan. To remove the cake, invert the bundt pan and run knife around edges to loosen the cake, then invert the cake onto your serving tray.
