Whipping Cream Pound Cake

I was looking for a pound cake recipe for a gathering at Mom's on New Years Day.  When the weekend shook out, I didn't need to make a dessert for that party but I had found this and wanted to keep it.  I wouldn't eat too much of this if you are trying to keep your New Years resolutions but a little bit won't hurt that much.

1 cup butter
3 cups white sugar
6 egg
3 cups cake flour
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract (optional)

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch tube pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream butter for 2 minutes. Add sugar and continue beating for 5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition.
  3. Add flour alternately with whipping cream beginning and ending with flour. Stir in vanilla and almond extract.
  4. Spoon into prepared 10 inch tube pan. Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 1 hour and 10 minutes.
  5. Turn out on cotton dish towel and place on cooling rack covered with cotton towel. When cool sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with fruit or plain.
