OLD BUTTER CAKE RECIPE
This recipe was discovered in an old McCall’s cookbook from 1910 and you will love this soft, fluffy and easy to make cake.
At first I was skeptical that a cake made from 00 flour could be both soft and moist; So far I have only achieved this effect with cake flour. Plus, I only ever have King Arthur flour in my pantry, which tends to produce a denser (but still delicious!) cake. Imagine my surprise when the cake turned out to exceed all expectations after the first bite.I don’t know if it’s the one tablespoon of baking powder or the four minutes total of beating, but whatever, the secret, this recipe works!
This will be a recipe that I will turn to again and again.
Ingredients:

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
