CAKE - Grandma Pittendreigh's 1-2-3-4 Cake

Cressie Elizabeth Maynard Pittendreigh

This is a recipe that Mac Robertson remembered very well, and after searching for it for this book, was able to find it with the help of his mother Helen.

1 cup of butter

2 cups sugar

3 cups sifted flour

4 eggs

3 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cream butter and sugar until light, add beaten eggs one at a time,

beating thoroughly. Sift and add dry ingredients alternately with milk

and flavoring. Bake in grease loaf pan in moderate oven 350-375 degrees.

45-60 minutes; or bake in two greased layer cake pans in moderately hot

oven 375 degrees about 25 minutes.

Fill and frost as desired.

Grandma always used a white icing.
