Recipe Introduction
This is a wonderful basic recipe that has been handed down from
generation to generation.
List of Ingredients
1 cup butter
2 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour (sifted, then measured)
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
Recipe
Cream butter and sugar until very fluffy. Add eggs one at a time,
beating well after each addition. Sift flour, salt and baking powder
three times. Add flour and milk alternately to creamed mixture, beating
well after each addition. Add extracts. Divide evenly in three greased
and floured 9-inch cake pans. Bake until straw tester comes out clean
(approximately 25 to 30 minutes).
Cool in pans for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool on
cake racks. Make sure cake bottom is next to rack.
If white layers are desired, substitute 6 egg whites for whole
eggs and solid shortening for butter. Beat whites until soft peaks form
and fold into cake batter LAST.
NOTE: For an especially velvety cake, use 2 duck eggs and 2 hen
eggs instead of 4 hen eggs.
