I love this cake. Makes your whole house smell wonderful. If you can't find butternut flavoring, you can also use vanilla-butternut or a combination of vanilla, butter and any nut flavoring of your choice. It is important that you bake this cake in a cold oven - do not preheat!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 0.5 cups shortening
  • 2.5 cups sugar
  • 5 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons butternut flavored extract
  • 1 can evaporated milk , 5 ounce
  • 3 fluids ounces milk
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Grease and flour a 10 inch tube pan. Mix together the flour and salt. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Combine the evaporated milk and whole milk; Set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the butternut flavoring. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing just until incorporated.

  3. 3

    Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 1 hour and 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.
