#3460 - Yummy Butter Cake

(by Shirley McNevich)

4 eggs
2 cups white sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
2 1/4 cups flour
2 1/4 tsp. baking powder
1 1/4 cups milk
10 TBSP butter (NO substitutes)

In a mixer add eggs--beat on high speed until thickened (4-5 minutes). Turn speed back to low. Slowly add white sugar and vanilla--beat. Add baking powder--beat. Slowly add flour--beat. Leave the bowl on the mixer (but turn it off). Cut the butter into small pieces. In a saucepan over low heat add the butter and milk--cook/stir just until butter is melted. Slowly add the milk mixture to the batter in the mixer--beat just until mixed. Pour the batter into a greased 9 x 13 cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes--test with a toothpick for doneness. Cool completely. Top with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar if you wish--frosting is not necessary.
