You must follow the instructions below in order for this cake to turn out properly. On low speed: blend in flour mixture in fourths. Alternately with butter mixture in thirds. Begin and end with flour mixture. Blend just until smooth. Pour batter into pans. Bake 30 mins or 35 mins for oblong pan. Cool 10 mins and take out. Sour milk = 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice and fill with milk to make 1/2 cup. Let curdle. |
