Check back later for a surprise recipe. Ok it’s here now! This one is called Vanilla Butter Nut Cake. I t is an old recipe from way back. When you smell this one baking in the oven’ it will drive you wild and it’s that good so it does not need any kind of topping or frosting.
This one stands on its on and takes all the compliments to itself!
Forty years ago my Mother-in-law made this special cake for her Son as it was his absolute favorite. He is gone now but Dear Sweet Alice is still around and I know she is still cooking up some wonderful meals as she did way back when!
Now all of you know that I love to put the photo up on my blog for you to see the results but I just can’t be eating everything I cook up so you will have to take my word on this one! It will be worth it!
Ingredients are:A bottle of Imatation Vanilla Butter and Nut Flavoring
(I find this at Save-A-Lot) and have seen it at other Grocers.
1/2 cup of shortening (Crisco). 2 sticks butter (Cream this toghether with a mixer).
3 cups of sugar with 1/4 tsp. of salt (Add this to mixer).
6 eggs (Add one at a time).
3 cups of self-rising flour (add to this) 1 cup of milk and two Tablespoons of flavoring from the bottle.
Add all this gradually into the mixer bowl. Heat oven to 325 degrees and ( grease very well) and flour a tube pan (like the fruit cake pans). Pour into prepared pan and slowly bake for 70 minutes ( 1 hour and 10 minutes). Let sit and cool down at least 25 minutes before you remove from pan.
Again this cake stands on it’s own, it is that good! Needs nothing else with it. I hope you will try this awesome cake as it it a fabulous recipe to have and to cherish! Love and Hugs from me to you!
