4 sticks (1 lb.) real butter softened to room temperature
4 c. sugar
10 eggs, room temperature
2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
2 tsp. vanilla
4 c. sifted cake flour

Cream butter and sugar thoroughly, using heavy-duty electric mixer. Add eggs, one at a time, with mixer running continuously at medium speed. Add lemon juice and vanilla. Finally add the flour a little at a time, mixing well with other ingredients.

Pour batter into a greased and floured 12 cup tube pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 1/2 hours or until done. Remove from oven and cool slightly. Then turn out on rack to finish cooling. This makes a large cake. Serves 16-18.
