Ingredients

  • 1 c. butter (2 sticks)
  • 2 c. sugar
  • 3 c. plain flour, sifted
  • 4 eggs
  • 3 level tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1/2 c. buttermilk and 1/2 c. water, mixed together (the secret)

Method

  • Mix by creaming the butter and sugar and adding eggs, one at a time.
  • Stir in dry ingredients alternately with liquid (about 3 additions each).
  • Never overbeat.
  • Hand stirring is better in this last step.
