Pound Cake

4 lbs powdered sugar 
4 pounds butter 
4 pounds flour 
40 eggs 
vanilla 

Cream the sugar and butter until light. Add eggs slowly, two at a time. 
Add flavoring. Fold in flour. Line pans or molds with paper. Make pans 
2 to 3 inches in thickness. Bake in a medium heat. This mixture will 
make 16 pounds of cake. This makes an acceptable wedding cake. 
Note - This mix must be made with all materials at a low temperature. 
Be sure that butter is good and cold before creamed with sugar.
