I found this is an older Southern Living cookbook- Heritage Cakes . This is a basic yellow cake that yields 2 layers. The recipe is as found: my only changes have been direction clarifications. For Chocolate Cake: Add 3 ( 1 oz.) squares of unsweetened choclate, melted in a double boiler, to the creamed mixture. Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened |
2 cups sugar |
3 eggs |
3 cups sifted flour |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1 1/4 cups milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. 1. Cream butter then gradually add sugar, beating well .
2. 2. Add eggs, beating well after each addition: this mix should be fluffy yellow.
3. 3. In another bowl, combine the flour and baking powder: The add mix to the creamed mixture ( above) alternating with milk, beginning and ending with the flour mix. Mix well.
4. 4. Stir in vanilla.
5. 5. Pour batter into 2 greased/floured 9 pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center come out clean.
6. 6. Cool in pan for 10 minutes then remove layers from pans and cool completely.
