Apricot Brandy Pound Cake

This is my maternal grandmother's recipe. She always made it at Christmas. It takes a bunch of extracts, so be prepared!

Ingredients:
1 c butter
3 c sugar
6 eggs (1-1/4 c)
1 c sour cream
1 t orange extract
1/2 t lemon extract
1/2 c apricot brandy
1/2 t rum flavoring
1/4 t almond extract
1 t vanilla
3 c flour
1/2 t salt
1/4 t baking soda

Directions:
Grease and flour bottom of large tube pan, or a couple loaf pans. Preheat oven to 325. Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly. Sift (or stir) together flour, baking soda, and salt.

Combine sour cream, flavorings, and brandy. Alternately add four and sour cream mixture to the sugar mixture. Mix until just blended. Pour into prepared pan.

Bake 70 minutes or until done (less for loaf pans).
