Old-Fashioned Pound Cake with Strawberries and Cream

This recipe makes two pound cakes. I found this recipe in the Lion House Desserts cookbook and it is delicious!

1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 eggs
3 3/4 cups cake flour
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup whipped cream (whipped and sweetened to taste)
strawberries
  1. Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour two loaf pans. Set aside
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until very light.
  3. Add alternately vanilla and eggs with flour on low speed. Whip on low speed until light and fluffy.
  4. Add lemon juice and beat until light.
  5. Pour into loaf pans and bake 45 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and serve with whipped cream and strawberries.
