Pound Cake

1 c butter-flavored shortening or 2 sticks butter or margarine
6 eggs
3 c flour
1 t vanilla
1 t almond flavoring
1 carton whipping cream

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cream together sugar and shortening. Add in eggs one at a time. Add flour in small portions. Add vanilla and almond flavorings.
