Pound Cake

Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and mace.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk. Add the lemon extract last.

Grease a 10-inch tube pan well. Evenly distribute the batter around the tube pan. Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees, or until the cake tests done. Cool in the pan on a rack for about 15 minutes, then turn over on a plate.

This cake can be frosted lightly with a thin, plain frosting (glaze type), or served alone, or with berries. A very dense, satisfying treat.
