sugar
3
cups
all-purpose flour

1/2
teaspoon

1/2

1
teaspoon

plus more for glaze
1.5
cup
confectioner's sugar for glaze
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F
Cream butter and shortening together in a mixing bowl or with a hand-held mixer.
Slowly add sugar as you mix
Beat in eggs, 1 at a time.
Stir dry ingredients together in a bowl
Add dry ingredients and milk a little bit at a time, alternating with milk. Be sure to start and end with the flour.
Finally, mix in vanilla.
Pour into a greased and floured tube or bundt pan and bake for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
For the glaze, mix together confectioner's sugar, 3 Tbsp milk, and 2 tsp vanilla and pour over cooled cake. (see notes)
Notes
Turn cake onto a cooling rack on top of a cookie sheet before adding glaze. Make sure the cake is not too hot or the glaze will drip right off.
