2 Tblsp. Butter Flavoring (optional)

Preheat oven to 350. Beat first four ingredients. Mix flour and salt separately. Beating well after each addition alternately add flour mixture and milk. Fold in the flavorings. Bake in well greased tube pan for 65-75 minutes. Cool 15 minutes. Run a knife around the edges and remove from pan to finish cooling.
