Ingredients

1 cup All purpose flour

1 teaspoon Baking Powder

2 Eggs

1 cup Sugar

1/2 cup milk

2 tablespoons Margarine or butter


Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Combine flour and baking powder. In a bowl, beat eggs on high speed about 4 minutes, or til thick. Gradually add sugar; beat at medium speed for 4 to 5 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add flour mixture, beat at low to medium speed until just combined. In a saucepan, heat and stir milk and margarine until margarine melts; add to batter, beating until combined. Pour into a greased 9 x9 x 2 inch baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Serve warm or cool. **Note. A little flavored extract works nicely in this too. I used to add a bit of lemon extract.

A little different from our old family recipe. This may be doubled and baked in loaf pans. We would use 1/2 to 1 tsp. each of lemon and almond extracts, or just vanilla. The milk should be heated just to the scalding point, not boiled and as directed, always added last. Better the second day, and can be frozen.

Absolutely perfect texture--very easy to work with! I made a layer cake with vanilla buttercream and fresh strawberry filling. It received rave reviews at a birthday party!
