Recipe Introduction


This is an easy recipe to whip up easy at any time. Nanna would make this cake just to have later in the evenings with a cup of tea or when expecting company. I love using this cake for company. I can make each individual slice fancy by topping with sliced peaches or strawberries. My favorite is topping with a scoop of ice cream, add a cherry, whipped cream & drizzle a little chocolate syrup over it. Yum!

1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cup flour
