Using up EGG-stra Eggs - Yummy Recipe!

Looking for a way to use up a lot of extra eggs?  Here's a nice recipe to save when your hens are laying and those eggs are piling up faster than you can use or sell them!  You can freeze this cake and use it at a later date.

TEN-EGG POUND CAKE

INGREDIENTS
3 c. sugar
2 c. Crisco shortening
10 eggs
3 c. flour, sifted
2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. salt
1/4 c. Pet condensed milk*
1 tsp. rum flavoring
1/2 tsp. almond flavoring
INSTRUCTIONS
Cream Crisco and sugar together well, then add eggs, beating very well after each. Add salt, flavorings and milk, then flour. Bake in an extra large tube pan that has been floured and greased. Bake at 300° F for 2 hours. Check after 1 hour and 45 minutes. Cake is done if knife inserted in center comes out clean. Once the cake is completely cooled and ready to serve it could be drizzled with a powdered sugar glaze.  YUMMY!

Note: *Do not use sweetened condensed milk.

Ten eggs is awesome! My ladies got attacked by a raccoon, and they haven't been laying so well since. It really upset them mentally. I hope over time they'll get back to regular laying.
