Vanilla Butter Cake

This classic butter cake needs no sugary frosting. It's perfect with tea after dinner or as a late night snack. Maybe even a little slice at breakfast time?!

Ingredients:

1 cup butter, at room temperature

1  1/2 cups brown sugar

4 eggs

2 tbsps vanilla (yes tablespoons!)

2 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup milk

icing sugar for dusting

Found this recipe on the back of the Watkins pure vanilla extract.

In a large mixer bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar for 3 minutes. Then add the eggs, one at a time, along with the vanilla.

Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt and add 1/2 to the wet ingredients. Slowly add the milk and the rest of the flour mixture. Mix well.

Grease and flour a 12 cup/2.8L bundt pan and bake at 350°F for 45 minutes.

Sit pan on rack for 15 minutes before releasing it to cool completely. Finally give it a nice dusting of icing sugar.

Serves 12-16
