This is a very simple cake. I made it for my Dad when he came to visit, and he said it smelled like pancakes. I got this out of the 1953 Better Homes And Gardens New Cookbook.

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3 cups flour
5 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup milk

Steps:

Cream butter, add sugar gradually, mix together until light and fluffy. Then add eggs and vanilla and add dry ingredients alternately with milk, stirring only enough to blend thoroughly. Do not beat. Pour into 9x9 greased pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Tips:

Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the cake batter to come together smoothly.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making the cake light and airy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough cake.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
Do not overbake the cake: A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out clean when the cake is done.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
