- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 cup lightly salted butter, at room temperature
- 1 tsp almond or vanilla extract
-
- Grease and flour two 9" pans. Sift flour, baking powder, & salt
- together. Cream butter & sugar until smooth. Add eggs, one at a
- time. Alternately add milk and flour mixture, beating after each
- addition. Add vanilla or almond extract. Spoon into pans, level

- Marzipan Cake: add 4 oz canned almond filling with the eggs,
- and top with a thinly rolled layer of marzipan.
- Orange Cake: Add zest of 1 1/2 oranges and replace milk with
- fresh orange juice, use orange extract instead
- of vanilla or almond.

- I made this for my wedding reception last summer. I ended up with this
- recipe after trying out several that were too dry and crumbly. Of course,
- doing the taste-testing wasn't too bad either...
