GRANNY CAKE

This cake was served at my nephew's pig picking after his wedding and it was delicious. You could hear everyone asking for the recipe! It is a bit different than the others posted. The original recipe calls for milnot instead of evaporated milk, but Zaar does not recognize milnot. The person that gave me the recipe said milnot may not be available in our area and evaporated milk could be substituted. I made this cake today for my cousin, who has broken her wrist. Needless to say, she and her boyfriend were delighted and loved it. It was so easy to make. It came out moist and delicious. If you prepare this, I hope you enjoy it!

Tips:

Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter and better texture.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy to incorporate air and create a smooth, creamy base for the cake.
Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to prevent curdling.
Sift the dry ingredients together to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven to ensure even baking.
Use a toothpick or cake tester to check if the cake is done. It should come out clean when inserted into the center of the cake.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
