I got this recipe from the wife of a co-worker. It's a very simple cake, buttery & not too sweet - perfect with seasonal fruit & whipped topping or ice cream.
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees; grease a 9x9 dish & set aside.
2. In a large bowl, cut flour, sugar & butter together until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside 1/2 cup of this mixture.
3. To the remaining butter mixture, add the rest of the ingredients & mix well.
4. Pour into prepared dish & sprinkle topping over.
5. Bake 30-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
6. Note #1: The edges of the cake may turn a light golden brown while baking, but the topping should not brown.
7. Note #2: Double the ingredients to make a larger (9x13) cake.
