Simple, light layer cake. Comes from my husband's side of the family (his great-grandmother, I believe). We pile it with fresh whipped cream and blueberries every summer. Fabulous. Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups sifted unbleached flour |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
3 teaspoons double-acting baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup canola oil |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 cup of milk |
2 unbeaten eggs |
Directions:
1. Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. Add oil, vanilla, and 2/3 c of the milk.
3. Beat thoroughly.
4. Add eggs and remaining milk.
5. Beat at high for 2 minutes.
6. Pour into 2 round 8 or 9 greased and floured pans (can also do a
7. rectangle pan).
8. Bake in 350 oven for 25 - 35 minutes (when tooth pick inserted in the
9. middle comes out clean).
10. For topping: ice w/ chocolate or white icing OR cover individual pieces with fresh whipped cream (I do not add sugar, just whip heavy cream until thick) and fresh blueberries.
